CCS is a group of professional associations, companies and individuals that needs your help to enact necessary reforms to Louisiana’s civil justice system.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for Legal Reform released its 2010 Lawsuit Climate Report that rates the justice systems of all 50 states. The full report is available here.

Louisiana is, once again, near the bottom. The state ranked 49th for legal fairness.

Formed in 2008, CCS will continue working to implement much-needed improvements to Louisiana’s civil justice system. The group was successful in passing legislation to clarify the rules on expert witness testimony, which saves the courts both time and money. While several critical reforms failed to make it through the legislative process last year, CCS is prepared to continue fighting for the best interests of Louisiana’s citizens and businesses.

 

At the Capitol

The 2010 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature adjourned sine die on Monday, June 21.

    Senate President Chaisson's SB 731, which would have allowed the state's attorney general to enter into contingency fee contracts, was defeated in the last minutes of the session.
