Trial Lawyers: Study is Malarkey

The West Virginia Association for Justice president says the "Judicial Hellholes" study is propaganda supported by nothing.

The group, formerly known as the West Virginia Trial Lawyers Association, was founded about 50 years ago to educate members about legal issues statewide and to provide Continuing Legal Education credits.

Allan Karlin, president of the association: "The study is a bunch of malarkey. The truth is, what it says is not true nor supported by any methodology. It's propaganda to spread a particular point of view."

This is the seventh straight year of the national "Judicial Hellholes" study and the seventh straight year the group has branded West Virginia's legal climate as such. West Virginia has the distinction of being the only full state to receive the designation. Otherwise, the report cites regions or counties within states.

As other regions moved off the list, West Virginia has moved up.

Ha! They protest too much!

All the attention they are giving to attempt to disuade the public actually brings more attention to the problem - them!

According to the report, West Virginia is the "most unfair legal environment."

The trial lawyers need to get over it, and reform.

Lawyers refute irrefutable EVIDENCE in courts and Judges
give them the opportunity twist the language of law, misinterpret the language of law, file motions to suppress evidence and order is so for their 'cronies' attorneys BUT, the Trial Report is printed and published EVIDENCE. Unscrupulous Lawyers HATE the TRUTH of this report because they can't twist it or suppress it. LOL

I love it.

The truth always surfaces -- and sometimes the culprits help it along -- like this time!

The truth hurts and it is so ugly when the truth is exposed. Thank you for shining the light on reality.
