Outside the courtroom, meanwhile, establishment legal ethicist Stephen Gillers was scoffing that "There doesn't seem to be any legal or ethical basis for this inquiry."
Let me be the first to say that this guy is a complete moron. His legal ethics textbook may be the worst book I have ever read.

He compared the lawyers' overcompensation to "the problems now emerging in large corporate America", which prompted Philip Damashek of Schneider, Kleinick, Weitz, Damashek & Shoot, which was awarded $98.4 million in fees, to demand an apology for "comparing me and my colleagues to these Enron people'".
You have to give credit to this judge. He knows how to hit this trial lawyers in the throat HARD. Comparing them to the heads of corporations whom they have demonized and plundered for years must really sting!

This judge better be careful crossing the street or using the subway. He is messing with some pretty tough guys--tobacco lawyers.
