Tort War

Uncivil Litigator takes out the heavy artillary on a fellow blogger who criticized his pro bono actions for an indigent client. The blogger, who is a major advocate for tort reform, argues that UCL's actions have helped contribute to the rising costs of insurance and is a major drain on social resources.

If I knew who UCL was, I'd card this line:

A society which primarily resolves disputes by resort to courts of law is a just and economically efficient society. Societies without a strong legal infrastructure, in which neither individuals nor corporations can count on the resolution of disputes through the consistent application of unchanging legal principles, are societies which foster economic waste, discourage foreign and domestic investment, and encourage an environment of chaos and even violence. The opposite of such a society is one which puts its corporations and individuals on notice that, when a dispute arises and the parties to the dispute fail to resolve their issues amicably, principles of long-standing, well-established law can and WILL be imposed upon them to bring the dispute to a civilized end.

UCL's defense of the current legal system is top notch. I highly recommend it.
