A truly unfortunate aside to this "practice" is that the phony litigations are so frequent and so costly, there is a
very good chance that the legitimate cases where there actually is just cause for a lawsuit are often looked at in the
same jaundiced eye by the public as the phony cases and true justice can suffer.

This has been going on for a very long time! Sue McDonalds because you spilled coffee on your lap?

This is a perfect example. Upon closer examination, the McDonalds case
does have merit. But people don't examine it more closely, because of
their jaundiced eye. (There's an earlier thread about this, though I
doubt it's easy to find based on subject line... though neither will
this one be).
