Underestimating The Value of Common Good's Agenda

What Newsweek's "Lawsuit Hell" Didn't Tell You
Anthony J. Sebok
Findlaw's Legal Commentary, December 15, 2003

FindLaw.com's Anthony J. Sebok gives a detailed critique of the Newsweek cover story. He had this to say about Common Good:

"As I understand Common Good's agenda, they do not deny -- as more traditional tort reformers tend to do -- that many people suffer wrongs that should be redressed by the tort system. On the contrary, they are worried that the current system no longer provides those victims with real redress. And they seek a serious, non-partisan inquiry into why the system has broken down for so many.....

Hopefully Common Good and those who want to find a "third way" out the current crisis in American tort law will, in end, be able to transcend this sort of media coverage."
