It is our goal to see South Carolina ranked in the top 25 for our litigation climate. To improve our ranking, we must focus on:

• Comprehensive Workers’ Compensation Reform
• Reasonable limits on damage awards that fully and fairly compensate injured parties
• A guarantee that all civil defendants can exercise their fundamental right to appeal, regardless of the judgment against them
• Establish uniform procedures and standards for the admissibility of expert witness testimony
• Class action lawsuit reform
