“These bottom-feeders are finally getting their comeuppance — and they’re freaking out. Anyone noticed the recent uptick in law firms running TV ads that urge consumers to join class-action suits against companies? These firms are scrambling to create new revenue streams — even if such frivolous suits further undermine this country’s already-reeling corporations at the worst possible time.”

One interesting side of this is that fewer people and businesses are even in a position to get involved in the legal system to begin with.

A (very good) lawyer I deal with regularly in real estate tells me that a lot of his work now involves arbitration, mediation, and working for clients to help keep them OUT of the traditional (and costly) legal processes.
