And even sadder to say it won't change as long as the lawyers who take these cases and get paid the way they do, have no incentive to think twice. Thought there was a glimmer of hope when I read a judge, after he threw a lawyers umpteenth case out, got tired of the frivolous actions and directed he pay all the defendants costs and court costs personally -- but was apparently just a whim of the moment as it didn't start a fad--and apparently the lawyer is still at it. There is another rub--judges who complain about clogged calendars and overwork, tell the lawyer his case is without merit and let it proceed anyway.

As if product liability isn't enough, another thing going on locally causing quite an uproar is because of an out of town firm going around suing mom & pop stores or small businesses for ADA violations--one mentioned in the paper was a bathroom mirror out of position 1 inch. Business settles, lawyer gets his fee and goes on the next victim.
