FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: \"No Lawyer Left Standing\"
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2006 8:56 am
Impatient with efforts to close the courts to litigants, the Administration literally fired the first shot in its groundbreaking \"No Lawyer Left Standing\" initiative. Vice-President Cheney, hunting on a private lawyer ranch near Kingsville, Texas, bagged an impressive buck (Harry Whittington, UT Law '50).
Under the new program, hunters may take one white shoe in-house lawyer or three outside lawyers daily. The limit has been suspended for trial lawyers. \"We've just got to thin the herd,\" said the Vice-President. \"We've tried tort reform and caps on damages, but people are still suing.\" Cheney added, \"It's easy and fun. In Texas, you can shoot in almost any direction and hit a lawyer.\"
