The West Virginia Trial Lawyers Association has a new name.

Yeah, I spent a number of years as an insurance defense counsel and it always bugged me that they appropriated the moniker, “trial lawyers”, as though there weren’t at least two attorneys trying every case -plaintiff and defense. Sorry, calling what many of them do “justice” gives the word a bad name.

The title you created “A trial lawyer by any other name would smell...” was not the published title.

Please do not alter titles. Thanks.

Sorry, I didn’t realize we weren’t supposed to change them. Won’t happen again.

Trial lawyers and justice - what a strange juxaposition.

Trial lawyers do nothing to further the cause of right versus wrong - they only define what is legal and illegal.

Even the meanings of those words are subject to reinterpretation.
