Best Answer

The best source of data I could find comes from 2012 @ Court Statistics Project website.

The data suggests the District of Columbia as having the most lawsuits per capita. If you are looking for an actual state then it would either be Idaho or New Jersey. The difference based on the structure of their legal systems make it not a one for one comparison.
