From another article on the extraordinary role played by trial lawyers in Illinois Democratic fundraising (see Aug. 29):
Chicago trial attorney Myron Cherry said political fund raising is another aspect of his charitable work.“I view politics the same way as eradicating cancer,” Cherry said.
– Dennis Conrad, “Illinoisans among Kerry’s top fundraisers”, AP/Daily Southtown, Jul. 29. The article goes on to note that trial attorneys’ extensive involvement in politics frequently focuses on issues of litigation reform that “could affect their legal income”.
