Stories by Stan Anderson on Madison - St. Clair Record

It has not been my intention to engage in a running debate with Randall Bono.

There is one thing on which we can agree with Mr. Bono’s editorial – the American system of justice is indeed the best in the world.

Madison County, Illinois has more class action lawsuit filings than any other county in America, having set a national record in 2003 with 106 class action filings. That's up from 77 class action filings in 2002, compared to only two filings in 1998. It is important to note that these cases have very little, if any, connection to Madison County.
