Turning away lawyer-patients?
Doctors want to refuse service to certain lawyers? I don't condone refusing necessary medical treatment to anyone, but this could be the start of what may be the only way to get rid of so many destructive, counter-productive lawsuits: refuse service to those who are most likely to bring such lawsuits. Perhaps if a trial lawyer who has a record of frivolous lawsuits is refused service by plumbers, electricians, and babysitters, refused access to restaurants, dry cleaners, and auto shops, and denied entry to public pools, playgrounds, and theaters, the tort reform so necessary in this country could move forward without the cries of outrage from the trial lawyers association.
Then again, they'd probably just sue. -- Ray Burtoff, Mount Laurel, N.J.
