The Benefits of Contingency Fees?
Who owns the world's largest database on Islamic terrorism? Is it the CIA, the FBI, or the NSA? No, the owners and operators are ...a group of American tort lawyers who are preparing to sue the Saudis for one trillion dollars. I don't know whether to be appalled or proud.
Thanks to Carl Close for the pointer.
