People like to tell stories about the world around this. It is
human nature. But sometimes these stories become twisted-either
by accident or by intent-and the effect is a significant impact
on the public debate about important issues.
We have all heard the story of the old lady who spills coffee
on herself and strikes it rich. But what we often do not hear
is the kernel of truth from which this story (ostensibly about
lawyers out of control) arises, showing the real truth is often
corporations acting badly towards consumers. We hear the myths
about how plaintiffs lawsuits are out of control, but the reality
is quite different.
In the debate about the legal system, it is very important to
get past the rhetoric and see what the truth actually is.
