ILR Reports
A home for reports
The Institute for Legal Reform (ILR), affiliated with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, produces research that focuses on improving the civil justice system, particularly at the state level. Its reports such as Tort Costs in America, Nuclear Verdicts, and 101 Ways to Improve State Legal Systems provide empirical data and policy recommendations aimed at reducing lawsuit inflation, curbing third-party litigation funding abuses, and promoting legal reforms that enhance fairness and economic competitiveness. ILR’s work is often showcased in its Research Review volumes, which also highlight state-level legal developments and federal procedural reforms like Rule 16.1, designed to improve the vetting of mass tort claims.
