Trial Lawyers' Group Changes Its Name

Because truth-in-advertising apparently doesn't apply to certain parasitic "trade groups":

(CNSNews.com) - A trial lawyers' trade group is removing the words "trial lawyers" from its name.

The Association of Trial Lawyers of America, meeting in Seattle, voted to change its name to The American Association for Justice on Wednesday.

That drew an immediate retort from a frequent critic of trial lawyers.

The group should change its tactics instead of its name, said Lisa A. Rickard, president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform.

"Rickard called the name change "an astounding admission of the unpopularity of trial lawyers in America."
