The Pacific Research Institute’s 2010 U. S. Tort Liability Index ranks the 50 states according to their “tort climates.”
1. Go the report’s state rankings
[special.pacificresearch.org/pub/sab/entrep/2010/Tort-Index/state.html/]
and determine your state’s rank, according to the PRI study. According to the study, is your state’s tort system a “Saint,” “Sinner,” “Salvageable,” or “Sucker,” and why does it matter?
2. Read the press release for the study [www.pacificresearch.org/press/2010-tort-liability-index-ranks-states-trot-climate] and explain how U.S. trot costs compare with other nations and why high trot costs matter, according to the study.
