The American Trial Lawyers Association can come up with whatever new name they want, but there’s an old country saying that really applies
here: you can’t polish a cow pie. Even if ATLA changes its name to the New Hari Krishna’s, it’s still going to be a small, special interest group of very wealthy lawyers who’s continued failure to police their own ranks has made a mockery of our justice system, raised prices on everything we buy, and jeopardized health care and jobs for countless Americans. Maybe instead of investing a lot of money in a PR spin campaign, they can invest in weeding out the bad lawyers within their ranks who abuse our legal system for greed instead of justice and give all personal injury lawyers a bad name.
