Stuart Taylor Jr. Responds to ATLA Criticism of "Lawsuit Hell" Overlawyered.com, January 9, 2004 From Overlawyered.com:
"Newsweek, as is typical for a newsweekly, published only a terse editorial response (see previous post) to the litigation lobby's concerted attack on its reporting. However, Stuart Taylor, Jr., the distinguished veteran journalist who (with Evan Thomas) was principal author of the feature, has kindly consented to let us reprint his more detailed point-by-point rebuttal to ATLA's official gripe catalogue, published under the title "Spin or Facts? A Look Behind Newsweek's Series 'Lawsuit Hell'". . . . Check out in particular, under heading #6, ATLA's false (and remarkably brazen) assertion that the Tillinghast study's $233 billion estimate of the cost of the liability insurance sector includes "the cost of the entire property/casualty insurance industry" and in particular the cost of hurricanes and similar damage. (It doesn't.)"
Stuart Taylor's point-by-point responses from January 9, 2004 on no longer available on-line.
