Scope and Contents

The text is a response from man Dick Armey in support of legal reform that includes a "loser pays" rule. Armey believes that the legal system has become too litigious and supports efforts to bring common sense back to it. He mentions a specific bill, the Attorney Accountability Act, that aims to discourage frivolous lawsuits and promote settlement of meritorious cases. Armey believes that this bill will restore fairness and decency to America's civil justice system.
