| Trial Lawyers Inc® 2010 UNNATURAL CLAIMS:Litigation Industry Usurps Regulators’ Role; Credible Claims Suffer
Environmental litigation is deeply rooted in Anglo-American law: the common-law tort of nuisance, which emerged in twelfth-century Britain,[1] allows individuals to recover compensation for “real injuries” to their “lands.”[2] Some modern environmental litigation, most prominently that which seeks redress for injuries generated by the oil spill from BP’s Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon rig, falls well within this historical paradigm.

| Institute for Legal Reform® 2010 Tort Liability Costs for Small Businesses
This study shows that small businesses shoulder a tremendous burden of the nation's tort liability costs, having paid $105.4 billion in 2008. Noting that small businesses have created 64% of all net new jobs in the United States over the past 15 years, ILR President Lisa Rickard said, "As America struggles out of this current economic downturn, this study shows that our lawsuit system continues to be a drag on job-creating small businesses."

| Trial Lawyers Inc® 2008 Asbestos Litigation
This report describes Trial Lawyers, Inc.’s asbestos litigation business line in more detail. A flame retardant originally thought to be a “magic mineral,” asbestos ended up causing the death of thousands of individuals; likewise, litigation that originally sought redress for the truly injured metastasized into a big business that in too many cases recruited sham victims to beef up the plaintiffs’ bar’s bottom line.
