They go around and look for issues like no ramp for a wheelchair or handicap parking. I'm not sure what a web site issue is maybe they want the site in braille or something.

Yup. It's called Lawfare

It should be that if the lawyer doesn't win they have to pay the defendants' legal fees out of their own pocket.

Isn't this where a counter suit comes in?

In my opinion the trouble with laws is they are made by lawyers.

Not only that but judges are lawyers also.

And so are or senators and our representatives etc .............

My spelling sucks but it is a group that works together.

Well, we know what Shakespeare said about lawyers...

Whole thing is silly. NOT that there has not been psychotic razor guys before.
Still....The idea that when someone shouts foul, it would shut down a legit forum.

Esp as a shaving forum is usually always friendly and accommodating. Purpose/nature of things.

A bigger picture may be forthcoming?

The problem with Tort Reform is it hits everyone. If you limit awards then when you are involved in something and you life is forever altered and you are a true victim via negligence and you can only get chicken feed you might feel differently.

Yeah, that's what all the lawyers keep saying. I'm not saying there's no truth to it but what are we supposed to do? Besides, tort reform means more than limiting settlement amounts. It also means courts reviewing what cases they will hear and throwing out the bogus. Judges should be doing this but, again, judges are lawyers.

The nitty gritty is that, like everything else, it's always one bad kid who gets everyone thrown out of the pool. As much as I hate giving power to the government what might put a stop to it is making ALL lawyers work for the court system instead of allowing them to be privately hired. Then you theoretically could not buy better justice.
