Attorneys outraged by $65 million suit over pants
I have been following the $65 million dollar pant lawsuit with interest because first of all I come from an immigrant family with a small business, secondly, it's an outrageous law suit, and thirdly to see if attorneys would rally and respond to the gross abuse of power that Administrative Law Judge Roy Pearson Jr. has committed. Attorneys already suffer negative opinion by the public, and this particular case completely aggravated that opinion further.
Fortunately, there is the American Association for Justice (AAJ), which is a nonprofit organization supported by attorneys to promote a fair and effective justice system. I am very happy to see that they did take action in this case. They have called for a disciplinary investigation of Pearson. And in addition, AAJ CEO Jon Haber, and president Mike Eidson have pledged to contribute to the defense fund established to support the family.
