Verizon Sued for Giving NSA Phone Records

By BETH DeFALCO, Associated Press Writer

TRENTON, N.J. -

Two New Jersey public interest lawyers sued Verizon Communications Inc.
for $5 billion Friday, claiming the phone carrier violated privacy laws
by turning over phone records to the National Security Agency for a
secret government surveillance program.

What a way to make about $100M each!!! These Class Action Law Suits are Gold
Mines for ambitious lawyers.

I'll probably get a rebate of $5 off my next Long Distance bill (I use a
Calling Card...)

One more reason why the county needs to enact national tort reform to reign
in the shark lawyers.

And raise the standards for being admitted to law school. Far too many
mediocre lawyers kicking around looking for a quick killing. Yes, tort
reform would be a very good start.

Rather than raising the standards for being admitted to law school, I would
raise the standards for graduation or passing the bar.

Reminds me of the punchline to that joke which begins:

Q: What do you call a busload of lawyers going over a cliff?

I still get a kick out of the one "its just 99% of lawyers that give
all the rest a bad name"!

hopefully this will be a response, not a new post (damned computer)
yes, its a reply!

A good start?

Damn BGM, you got me remembering - Scott will relate to this one in
Florida.

Q "What do you do when you find 200 lawyers in a sinkhole with water
up to their noses"?

A add more water.

Boo Hiss!

Don't get me started! I just checked my cache and found 53 lawyer jokes.

There was a time when lawyers were not allowed to advertise. I remember how
they argued that one can get a completive price on every product and service
then need, but the law prevented them from finding out what different
attorneys charged to do a will, transfer a property or defend you in court.
They argued, is the fair? Now that they can advertise. have you even seen
an ad concerning the cost of a will, transfer a property or defending you in
court? LOL

As an exercise, I just check the "yellow pages" for attorneys - start
on page 33 and end on Page 101

Doctors start on 527 end on 561.

This is for basically Redding to Yreka area -

churches are on 225 to 229....
