Early this morning, Walter pointed readers to Philip K. Howard's article "Making Civil Justice Sane" in the new edition of the Manhattan Institute's City Journal. Readers may also be interested in my brief Soundings column in this issue, "Lawyer Lead-ership," which covers the recent Rhode Island decision against the paint companies alleged to have caused a "public nuisance." More information about the lead paint cases is available here at Point of Law and at Overlawyered.
