Trent Lott's half-brother, Scruggs, is a very wealthy and famous personal injury lawyer. Mississippi is a perfect forum for class-actions lawsuits because of something called "joinder" (sp?) I may have that word tangled up, but it sounds like that.

How it works...you want to sue a major pharm company in Miss? Just sue the neighborhood drug store (local) and then you can drag in the pharm company. Sure does discourage those who want to open a local pharmacy. Later, the pharmacy is dropped after getting beat up in court for awhile, in order to go after the bigger fish.

Miss, Nevada, West VA, Penn--all are losing doctors.

Greta van Whatsis is married to someone who made a killing in some class action...might have been tobacco.

Thanks for all the information.

I didn't realize it was Trent Lott's half-brother, I thought I heard the woman saw it was his brother-in-law.
