#4 William Lerach, Plaintiffs' Trial Lawyer MISSING IN ACTION

Hurricane Katrina: Ample warning, corrupt employment practices, reckless to willful incompetence, lying official announcements, mothballed school buses, arguments about sex harassment training for emergency workers.
WHERE ARE THE TRIAL LAWYERS NOW THAT WE REALLY NEED THEM?
Goldberg Screwup #77 nominates WILLIAM LERACH, the lawyer who brought Enron to its knees, as the fourth person screwing up America. A famous and fabulously rich trial lawyer, Lerach is the Chairman of Lerach Coughlin, his 150 lawyer firm with offices almost every major city of the South and West, including Houston, Texas. According to his own firms' publicity, William S. Lerach is widely recognized as one of the leading securities lawyers in the United States. He has headed the prosecution of hundreds of securities class and stockholder derivative actions resulting in recoveries for defrauded shareholders amounting to billions of dollars. Mr. Lerach has been the subject of considerable media attention and is a frequent commentator on securities and corporate law, as well as a frequent lecturer. He represents numerous public and Multi-Employer pension funds in corporate securities matters.
The firm says its business includes human rights abuses.
Trial lawyers defend themselves when people like George Bush attack them as the cause of all the ills in the society, on the grounds that we need them to keep the powerful in line. Lerach is the poster boy for the "tort reform" crowd. WHERE IS WILLIAM LERACH NOW THAT WE NEED HIM?
AM I THE ONLY LAWYER IN AMERICA WHO THINKS SOMEONE SHOULD SUE THE FEDS?
The Federal Tort Claims Act allows suits for willful and reckless misconduct.
Starting out to save someone and putting them in a worse position is a tort everywhere in America, including in Louisiana. Even the Good Samaritan Acts don't protect people against what FEMA did, including recklessly hiring a series of unqualified incompetents to run the place.
SOMEONE PUT ME IN FRONT OF A JURY OR I'M GOING TO BURST.
