The trial lawyers' "justice" myth::By John Stossel (http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/JohnStossel/2006/08/02/the_trial_lawyers_justice_myth)
The Association of Trial Lawyers of America recently changed its name to the American Association for Justice. It may be a smart PR move, because everyone likes the word "justice," and apparently the name "trial lawyers" has acquired a negative tinge. It's good that it has, because although trial lawyers say they "protect the little guy," that's a myth. In truth, for every little guy they help, they hurt thousands.
