There's No Trial Lawyers Around Here...

What do you do if people don't like you? You change your name (from Special Report):

The Association of Trial Lawyers of America will henceforth be known as the American Association for justice, after members voted to remove "trial lawyers" from their name. A spokeswoman says the change "reflects whose side we're on in the fight for justice."

But critics at the U.S. chamber institute for legal reform called the move "an astounding admission of the unpopularity of trial lawyers in America," saying instead of abandoning its name, the group should be "abandoning the high-dollar business model of industry-targeted lawsuits, followed by a real commitment to comprehensive reform of our civil justice system."
