Drumroll please….the state with the best "lawsuit climate" is Delaware. And the worst is Illinois.

That's according to a report released Tuesday by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Legal Reform.

It's the 12th time since 2002 the Institute for Legal Reform has sponsored the survey. The results are based on interviews by The Harris Poll of 1,307 in-house general counsel, senior litigators or attorneys, and other senior executives with recent litigation experience at companies with annual revenue of at least $100 million.
