New York’s Legal System Is Among The Worst In The Nation

A new study of New York’s legal system conducted by Pacific Research Institute (PRI), a nationally known research firm, has concluded that New York’s legal system is the third worst in the country and is costing taxpayers millions of dollars through higher taxes and increased costs for goods, insurance and health care. Savings derived from reforming the system would go a long way towards reducing New York’s multi-billion dollar budget deficit.
