US Legal Headline

Amüsant, und ein Kern Wahrheit, zumindest was die starke Lobby der US Prozessanwälte betrifft: The Senate’s Lawsuit Factory; Wall Street Journal | July 22, 2011; Somewhere, in some secret drawer at Tort Bar Headquarters, is an instruction manual labeled „How To Wring Legal Jackpots Out of Congress.“ It reads something like this: 1) Identify a law or regulation that prevents trial lawyers from cashing in. 2) Identify a „victim“ of this law or regulation. 3) Get congressional allies to turn said victim into a cause celebre. 4) Use ensuing moral outrage to get the law or regulation changed. 5) Buy a yacht.
