Kurt.
Touche` – But that’s sort of my point. The ultimate pursuit of a vendor is to operate in a market where he/she has eliminated all competitors and thereby created a monopoly. Kind of like forcing (or channeling all) customers (or defendants) to use his product. However, I see your point.

Todd,
There is one difference between a free market and the legal profession. If you think of the customers as the people you get the money from, in a free market they are voluntary, in the legal world they are not. If someone sues you, it costs you money just to defend yourself whether or not you did anything wrong. If I am selling something, it is the customers choice to buy or not. When you have the weight of the courts and law enforcement against you, there is very little choice for a defendant paying on a lawsuit.

There is more competition for this company. The domain (web address) WhoCanWeSue.com (and WhoCanIScrew.com) is available for sale at that address.

I’m sure that the judiciary was never meant to be a business driven by profit for shareholders, such as with a traditional commercial entity, be it mom & pop shops or Walmart. However, I’m very much a free market guy – pro-Laissez-faire, not unlike many of the readers here. So, I read about endeavors such as this and while it on the one hand makes my stomach turn, I still think the people who dream up things such as this are really crafty capitalists – they’re like foxes who have figured out how to build really attractive hen houses. I guess it’s just too damned bad that in their pursuits they also have screwed up a necessary system of an orderly and free society.
