Two of the most prominent class-action lawyers in the country, Melvyn Weiss and Dickie Scruggs

Scruggs to attempting to bribe a state court judge in Mississippi in a
dispute over legal fees.

class-action lawyers reformed themselves. But if not, someone should
file a lawsuit." Egad, who isn't already? We have the
United States Congress suing OPEC, because they won't lower oil
prices. And if that isn't lame enough for you, "Iran Threatens to Sue Western Nations Over 'Damaged' Reputation."
