	Lawsuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A lawsuit is a civil action brought before a court in which the party commencing the action, the plaintiff, seeks a legal remedy.
		Civil procedure is additionally constrained/informed by separate statutory laws, case law, and constitutional provisions that define the rights of the parties to a lawsuit (see especially due process), though the rules will generally reflect this legal context on their face.
		In medieval times, both "action" and "suit" had the approximate meaning of some kind of legal proceeding, but an action terminated when a judgment was rendered, while a suit also included the execution of the judgment.

	Waring 1999 Civil Action
		Civil Action, based largely on a non-fiction book by a plaintiff's attorney, has been described as the most accurate portrayal of civil litigation ever to appear on the silver screen.
		Defendants in civil suits routinely buy the silence of those they injure by conditioning settlement on the plaintiff's inability to discuss the case with anyone else.
		Thus, I fear audiences for A Civil Action may come away from the film thinking they understand the workings of the litigation system, when in fact they are still missing some very important pieces of the puzzle.

	'A Civil Action' II - The Boston Globe
		W.R. Grace and Co. became an ugly symbol of the polluting corporation thanks to its role in "A Civil Action," the book and movie about water contamination and its devastating human cost in Woburn years ago.
		As grim as the Woburn story became, it may not match another tale of pollution in the course of commerce, serious illness, and death.
		A lesser known fact: Grace was later indicted for lying to the Environmental Protection Agency but had the good sense to bargain down the charges and settle for $10,000.

	A CIVIL ACTION
		Based on the true story of a lawyer's steadfast dedication to a case that drove him, his partners, and their firm to financial ruin, "A Civil Action" is a compelling courtroom drama with outstanding performances from its stellar cast.
		Although the amount of artistic license regarding the historical events is unclear (unless one is intimately familiar with the case or the voluminous bestseller by Jonathan Harr based on those events), the apparent fact that the film sticks close to the truth eventually causes the film to lose a great deal of its early momentum.
		There are several negligence-based deaths, two large corporations with the gall and resources to cover up and then defend their misdeeds, and an ambulance chaser of a lawyer who suddenly gets a conscience and moral dedication that slowly ruins his and others' careers.

		This was the Civil War, and though far from the actual battlefield, these were highly trained soldiers eager for combat.
		But when the Civil War began, the trained soldiers stationed at the fort were needed to fight on the front, so they were replaced by volunteers, all of whom had signed up thinking they were being sent to fight the Confederates, but ended up stationed far from the action.
		A group of local Civil War re-enactors were staging a battle at Bryant Park in Albany when the sound of their cannons caught the Albany man’s attention.

	Review of Harr's Civil Action
		It is quite doubtful that Jonathan Harr had paralegals in mind when he wrote A Civil Action, but the innumerable roles that paralegals often play in real life are prevalent throughout the book.

		On one hand, we deplore what we perceive as a morality wed to the almighty dollar, but at the same time, regardless of how much we complain and feign disgust, we understand many of the profit-motivated decisions that lawyers must make.
		In the first few scenes of A Civil Action, director/screenwriter Steven Zaillian mines this schism of attitudes with remarkable skill and insight.
		John Travolta, as attorney Jan Schlichtmann, narrates these scenes while explaining the "calculus" of personal injury law, where a white male, 40-years-old, "at the height of his earning potential," is the most prized client--and where a dead child is the least prized.

	Amazon.com: A Civil Action (Vintage Books): Books: Jonathan Harr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The level of confusion displayed throughout the trial by even expert witnesses raises the question whether anyone actually understood what was going on, but the jury clearly had no idea what they were supposed to be doing and ended up rendering a thoroughly confusing verdict in the first stage of the trial.
		If civil cases this complex are to be brought to trial, which they surely will be, it seems that it would make more sense to have them be bench trials or to appoint Special Masters with the technical background to decide the fact issues.
		A CIVIL ACTION was turned into a pretty good 1998 film starring John Travolta and Robert Duvall.

	SoundtrackNet : A Civil Action Soundtrack
		In A Civil Action, Danny Elfman continues his latest musical trend that I first noticed in To Die For - very contemporary, rhythmic, and yes, "smooth".
		With a unique approach to percussion, synthesizers, choral work, and a traditional orchestra, the direction that Elfman has gone in the past few years is strikingly different from his previous films, which had a more traditional (yet quirky) orchestral approach (such as Batman, Edward Scissorhands, and Beetlejuice).
		Ultimately, A Civil Action is not the best score that Danny Elfman composed for the winter of 1998 - that honor goes to A Simple Plan.

		In January 2002, the FTC filed an application for civil contempt against Enforma, Grey, and Michael Ehrman, another Enforma executive, for continuing to advertise two weight loss supplements, Fat Trapper Plus and Exercise In A Bottle, using unsubstantiated and misleading representations, in violation of the May 2000 order.
		In its application for civil contempt, the FTC alleges that the defendants have not provided any competent and reliable scientific evidence that Chitozyme "traps fat" and causes weight loss without diet or exercise.
