nj court system

New Jersey's justice system doesn't rank among the most unfair and out-of-balance in the nation, but it's pretty close.

Good news for Atlantic County - it's no longer listed as a "judicial hellhole" in a report from the American Tort Reform Foundation. However, experts say New Jersey's legal system still has a lot of work to do to reach perfection.
