Peacocks in the barnyard

Los Angeles Times reporter Molly Selvin wanted my opinion of class-actioneer Bill Lerach for this profile, so I gave it. Holding up the other end of the discussion are Lerach fans Jamie Court, of Harvey Rosenfield’s outfit, and actor/humorist/ expert-economic-witness-in-Milberg-cases Ben Stein (”Unsettling Days for King of Class Actions”, Jul. 23)(cross-posted at Point of Law).

In Ben Stein; Bill Lerach; class actions; Milberg Weiss
