Defending Trial Lawyers?

It doesn't happen often, so when it does, time to
draw attention. A recent article on
CNNMoney.com champions the much hated trial
lawyer. Salient points include: Attorneys
represent the last resort of employees
wrongfully terminated or abused in the work
place; Attorneys represent individuals against
the greed of corporations willing to put out
shoddy tires, tainted pet food and toothpaste
and defective difibrillators. The only thing
that keeps the corporate world turning is the
knowledge that, if the corporate world tries
to screw the individual, trial lawyers will be
there to hold them accountable. "Simply put,
what makes transactions possible is the
knowledge that if trust is abused, the abuser
will pay a penalty." Long live the trial
lawyer, long live corporate accountability.
