	Trial Lawyer
		Trial lawyers represent clients involved in litigation, both civil and criminal.
		The trial lawyer's job is to persuade a jury of the facts in a case, and to display them in a way that best supports their client's position.
		Trial lawyers sometimes become judges or seek public office-most senators and a number of presidents have had a legal background.

	John Edwards: An Oops for the Trial Lawyers' Presidential Candidate
		Trial lawyers have lots of money. They want lots more, which is why "greedy" is the adjective frequently used to describe them. Never accused of being shortsighted underachievers, they are willing to invest to get lots more.
		Its purpose is to prohibit citizens, even trial lawyers, from exceeding contribution limits through deception. Its purpose is to prohibit small groups of the well-heeled from exercising excessive influence over elected officials, although, again, in practice, it may be as effective as "some rule" that prohibits frivolous lawsuits.
		Cynics might venture that all that trial lawyer money for Edwards' presidential bid may represent the first time their deep pockets get clipped. Polls in North Carolina steadily show Edwards losing his own state by a landslide in a head-to-head match with President Bush, should the president decide to run for re-election.

	Trial Lawyer Money Flows Once Again
		Now in 2000, the trial lawyers are poised to meet or exceed that figure through the same contribution scheme - proof once again that an elite group of trial lawyers are trying to influence and exploit our legal system.
		When coupled with direct trial lawyer contributions to their campaigns apart from those dollars sent through the Democratic Party, trial lawyers comprise 69 percent of Yates' contributions, 55 percent of England's, 55 percent of Cook's, and a startling 76 percent of Laird's funds.
		This tangled web of trial lawyer money is a clear indication that the trial lawyers are up to their old tricks.

	"John Edwards, Esq." by Joshua Green
		Years of conservative agitation about trial lawyers have led the public to believe that the courts are clogged with "frivolous lawsuits." But that belief is unlikely to withstand a national debate, because the truth is fundamentally different from what tort reformers pretend.
		Trial lawyers, too, routinely commit certain sins that tort reformers ignore but that would infuriate the average person if they were better known.
		Edwards is uniquely situated to refute Bush's attacks on trial lawyers and tort reform because he's the living embodiment of how a trial lawyer can serve a regulatory function in the face of misbehaving corporations, cities, and professionals.

	Did 'Junk Science' Make John Edwards Rich? -- 01/20/2004
		Edwards became one of America's wealthiest trial lawyers by winning record jury verdicts and settlements in cases alleging that the botched treatment of women in labor and their deliveries caused infants to develop cerebral palsy, a brain disorder that causes motor function impairment and lifelong disability.
		Edwards' trial summaries "routinely went beyond a recitation of his case to a heart-wrenching plea to jurors to listen to the unspoken voices of injured children," according to a comprehensive analysis of Edwards' legal career by The Boston Globe in 2003.
		"[Trial lawyers] have been cashing in on cases where the doctor's conduct probably did not make any difference at all -- cases where the child was doomed to this condition based on things that happened before they ever got to the delivery room," Olson said.

	Gerry Spence : America's Finest Trial Lawyer
		Gerry Spence, the famous lawyer, leads us into dark and exciting places in search of justice for a modern woman who claimed she was defamed by Penthouse magazine-behind the scenes, into the judge's chambers, and into the very mind of the trial lawyer himself.
		Spence, a masterful storyteller, takes us with him to the courtroom where, together, we discover a startling truth-that the same evil authority by which millions of women were tortured for their confessions and burned at the stake as witches still smolders deep in the law today.
		At yet another level this is the very personal story of a country lawyer, a man long immersed in the chauvinism of his generation, who, as he puts it, became a "born-again feminist" and a powerful proponent of women's rights.
