| Language: | English |
| Topics: | civil justice, law, satire |
| Description: | ThePopTort.com is a blog by consumer advocates at the Center for Justice & Democracy. With pithy commentary, occasional wit, and perhaps a little bit of pizzazz, these zaniest of zanies discuss why, at a time when corporate crime and abuse is at an all time high, it is actually a good thing to take Corporate America to court sometimes. The Pop Tort makes the wild claim that if the civil justice system is so wrong, they don't want to be right. They bravely undertake the risky endeavor of going up against insurance companies, business giants, the health care industry, drug companies, big tobacco, oil, chemical conglomerates and so on. |

Las Vegas Hepatitis Case Takes a Criminal Turn—Possibly at Victims’ Expense
That terrible story about the Las Vegas clinic that reused dirty syringes and vials, potentially exposing some 50,000 Nevadans to Hepatitis C, may be about to take a very unfortunate turn from a civil justice perspective. Ironically, that’s because

Sarah Palin “Going Rogue” On the Exxon Valdez Case
We were as surprised as anyone when Sarah Palin actually denounced the really bad 2008 U.S. Supreme Court decision that slashed the Exxon Valdez oil spill verdict, saying 30,000 victims could only get one-tenth of the jury’s award. She said it was a “huge disappointment,” that she didn’t thin
