Howard on PBS

The Journal Editorial Report, August 5, 2005

Appearing on PBS's The Journal Editorial Report, Common Good Chair Philip K. Howard explained that justice cannot be the foundation of freedom unless judges decide who can sue for what.

"We need to get beyond tort reform," Howard said. "It is not about stopping this kind of lawsuit or that kind of lawsuit. It is about developing a system of justice that is fair to whoever is right."

The Journal Report is a weekly news and discussion program hosted by Pulitzer-Prize winner Paul Gigot, editor of The Wall Street Journal's editorial page.
