2006 ILR/Harris State Liability Systems Ranking Study

Welcome to the 2006 ILR/Harris Poll State Liability Systems Ranking Study! Now in its fifth year, the ILR /Harris Poll ranks the 50 states based on how fair their court systems are perceived to be. The study is based on a survey of over 1,400 practicing corporate attorneys and general counsels who answered a comprehensive battery of questions.

Why is the ILR/Harris Poll important?

Companies dont want to do business in states where the courts are perceived to be unfair. People living in low-ranking states are losing out on jobs, tax revenue and other economic development opportunities fueled by business. But the good news is that ILR is working to fix the legal systems in these states. Learn more about our poll below:
