The "Justice League" To Save The Day For Colorado Businesses
Category: News Defused
The Justice League Strikes Again should be the title of the article posted by the Denver Business Journal. It conjures up images of caped and masked vigilantes protecting the rights of businessmen from the evil claims of the wrongfully injured. After the Justice League finishes its present campaign to pack the Colorado Supreme Court with pro business judges, it will be turning its attention to the alarming tendency of some judges to mingle with ordinary people.
A group pushing lawsuit reform says five out of seven Colorado Supreme Court Justices lean toward decisions that expand liability for Colorado businesses and individuals.In its second Judicial Economic Report, the Colorado Civil Justice League said Thursday that retiring Justice Rebecca Love Kourlis was one of two judges who more often split with the majority on the court and voted to limit liability.
The group urged Gov. Bill Owens, who is expected to name Kourlis' replacement soon, to select a justice whose views are similar to Kourlis'.
The justice league, which promotes liability caps and other measures to limit costs from lawsuits by individuals and businesses, said it based its ratings on selected cases involving insurance claims, workers' compensation, medical malpractice, general liability and employment law.
CCJL says the data show a widening split between justices who expand liability beyond current law, and those who defer to the Legislature on such matters.
