ATLANTA, Georgia, June 13 -- The Georgia Public Policy Foundation issued the following news release:
In 2023, Georgia had the dubious honor of topping the American Tort Reform Association's list of the country's "Judicial Hellholes." This was the second year in a row that Georgia held the number one ranking - although this time it was a split title with Pennsylvania's courts - due to what the ATRA calls an environment of lawsuit abuse and excessive tort costs.
