		<description><![CDATA[This is for all tort reform advocates, like those smart folks at the Wall Street Journal, who spout the simplistic suggestion that a loser pay rule would improve the American civil justice system. The Times Online reports on Lord Justice Jackson&#8217;s lengthy report on the United Kingdom&#8217;s civil justice system. The upshot is that Lord [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a somewhat misleading piece on the use of so-called &#8220;Independent&#8221; Medical Exams in the courtroom.
The article interviews Portland defense lawyer Ron Stephenson.  Ron suggests that both sides use biased medical providers. So it follows, according to the article, that it&#8217;s okay&#8211;even essential&#8211;that the defense use a biased medical examiner.
I&#8217;ve handled cases against Ron and [...]]]></description>

So why are they opposed to food labeling requirements? Why do they claim that the obesity epidemic is a contrivance? And why do they counsel consumers to get written waivers from guests before serving unlabeled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Guess they&#8217;re through licking their wounds over their electoral losses earlier this month. The Chamber of Commerce is back with its tired screeds about the &#8220;costs&#8221; of lawsuits.  According to the Chamber, the &#8220;lawsuit industry is booming.&#8221; I&#8217;m sure that has nothing to do with the Chamber&#8217;s role in federal deregulation. As well, I&#8217;m sure [...]]]></description>

It seems that the Chamber is concerned about how new or revised regulations that reverse the Bush-era&#8217;s kleptocracy may affect the Chamber. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good piece on how it&#8217;s usually wise for plaintiffs in injury cases to settle their claims, even when the settlement feels like too little money. The short version is that pre-trial settlement of the claim is generally the wise choice.
According to the forthcoming study, plaintiffs&#8211;the people bringing the lawsuit&#8211;mistakenly go to trial 60 percent of [...]]]></description>

You don&#8217;t have to look too far into the archives to find a combination of snarkiness, outrage, and jaundice over some of their practices.  So this one is in the spirit of calling it fairly.
