Sunday, December 26th, 2004 — The third annual "Judicial Hellholes®" report - a ranking of the worst courts in the United States was released by the American Tort Reform Association. In addition to identifying Judicial Hellholes, places where "Equal Justice Under Law" does not exist, the report also showcases the remarkable turnaround that has occurred in Mississippi, home to several of the worst Judicial Hellholes, including Jefferson County. Jefferson County stands in sharp contrast to Madison County, Illinois, the worst jurisdiction in this year’s report - for the second year in a row.
