Abstract

Article on a proposal to create a special business court, suggesting that such a court would be business-friendly at the expense of consumers. Rep. John Richardson, D-Brunswick, proposed the court in an effort to free up the state's crowded legal system and to support "a vibrant business atmosphere."
