Welcome


The Alabama Campaign for Legal Reform is a project of the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform (ILR). This campaign has been established to provide you with the latest information on activities and events related to our goal of reforming Alabama's legal system.  Alabama can't afford the high price of lawsuit abuse -- and that's why we are working to bring sensible legal reform

This week ILR, in conjunction with renowned research firm Harris Interactive, released Lawsuit Climate 2008: Ranking the States -- its annual study examining the court systems in each state to determine which are the most fair and balanced and which are broken and in need of change.
