The pro-reform American Justice Partnership has been developing an interesting project it calls the "Legal Reform Speaker's Resource". It consists of chapters assembling facts and observations on each of various themes in the legal reform debate, mostly consisting of short clips from cited sources (including, for example, the Manhattan Institute's Trial Lawyers Inc. series). Each theme is itself divided into subthemes, so that, for example, the chapter on Class Actions includes subsections on "The Clientless Practice" and "Examples of Coupon Settlements". Other chapters currently up and running: "Lawsuit Abuse", "Costs of Lawsuit Abuse", "The Healthcare Crisis", "The Plaintiffs Bar", and "Punitive Damages".
