Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Corporate Lawyers Corrupting United States Legal System

Ask anyone in the U.S. about the state of our justice system, and people will tell you it’s broken. Americans say lawyers are to blame for clogging the courts with frivolous lawsuits filed on behalf of greedy clients. But consumer advocate Ralph Nader says our legal system is actually being destroyed by a small handful of elite power lawyers who work for large corporate law firms where they have perfected the art of nullifying, misusing or breaking the law while pretending to uphold it. These corporate firms are assaulting workers’ rights to organize, patients’ rights to competent health care and consumers’ rights to product safety.
