The American Tort Reform Association (ATR) has named its list of "Judicial Hellholes" for 2007.  These are jurisdictions in which ATR believes "the scales of justice are wildly out of balance."  ATR’s "worst offenders" are: South Florida; Rio Grande Valley and Gulf Coast, Texas; Cook County, Illinois; West Virginia; Clark County, Nevada; and Atlantic County, New Jersey.  Additionally, ATR’s "watch list" includes: Madison County, Illinois; St. Clair County, Illinois; Northern New Mexico; Delaware; and California.  You can see the complete report at  http://www.atra.org/reports/hellholes/.
