Like legal malpractice insurance, we need losing insurance

I disagree, paying for frivilous lawsuits should not be the collective responsibility of all Lawyers.

Filing a frivilous lawsuit should be saddled with the full burden of knowing that your actions carry sole accountability.

Until you spread the burden, you are never going to see any real tort reform.

When law used to be a profession, the profession was self-governing and self-disciplining. Not any longer.

Law today is just another industry with clients as the raw materials.

Since when did lawyers care more about responsibility than who had pockets deep enough to pay?

How would you stop the runaway corruption of these bandits, who are practically invulnerable to lawsuits over THEIR actions?
