My suggestion of a place to start is revising the tort laws dealing with health care. If you look at what doctors and hospitals have to pay in malpractice protection you would see a great deal of what ails the health care system in the US.

I think we should go to another tort system much like England's. If you sue and lose you pay the party who won court costs and lawyer's fees. I believe they also limit what a lawyer can make on a judgement. We would save a lot of lawsuits and probably have fewer lawyers in the process.

Just to be plain...

You Need a New Lawyer When...
1. During your initial consultation he tries to sell you Amway.
2. He tells you that his last good case was a "Budweiser".
3. When the prosecutors see who your lawyer is, they high-five each other.
4. He picks the jury by playing "duck-duck-goose".
5. During the trial you catch him playing his Gameboy.
6. He asks a hostile witness to "pull my finger".
7. A prison guard is shaving your head.
8. Every couple of minutes he yells, "I call Jack Daniels to the stand!" and proceeds to drink a shot.
9. He frequently gives juror No. 4 the finger.
10. He places a large "No Refunds" sign on the defense table.
11. He begins closing arguments with, "As Ally McBeal once said..."
12. Just before he says "Your Honor," he makes those little quotation marks in the air with his fingers.
13. The sign in front of his law office reads "Practicing Law Since 2:25 P.M."
14. Whenever his objection is overruled, he tells the judge, "Whatever".
15. He giggles every time he hears the word "briefs".
