Americans with Disabilitys Act lawsuits are similar cash cows for lawyers.

A straw plaintinff with a professional "cripple" expert witness who is paid by the proceeds sent to the lawyer is essentially legal extortion for the most microscopic infraction. No cure time, no remedy, even if you fix the percieved infraction the lawyer STILL sues or collects the extortion.

This is one situation where tort reform would be fixt by ELIMINATING lawyer fees and make it plaintiff pays ONLY.
