Wow!
Is that so? That's interesting if true (though I imagine it would be harder to precisely winnow out President Bush and VP Cheney's finances, because of their corporate ties, and no, I'm not implying anything sinister by that), and very impressive, since he made every penny of it. Where is this information published?
Hes worth $35-70million, most from cases built upon junk science, where he solely persued cases where research was murky and in the grey area. Claiming things as fact even though they werent and have since been completely contradicted. Which is quite common with torts.
be honest though..... Corporations also use junk science in their defence ala Big tobacco.
Its the PEOPLE who decide the liability anyway not the lawyers
While the jurors make the decision, its ultimately the lawyers that lead them to that. Manipulation is key to both plantiffs and defense. Also big tobacco is a bad example, big tobacco has had several mulit-billion dollar judgements against it, and even more multi-million judgements against it as well.
