My wife works company/defense side, so this is not her bailiwick.
That's a relief. The bromance lives on.
Regarding the plaintiff's lawyers, there are some cases in which they are representing someone with a legitimate case in which a person or entity was harmed by negligent or willful acts of another, but so many others where the outcome was nobody's fault and they're just looking for someone (the wealthier the better) to blame. I don't know how difficult it would be or how much money it would take for me to convince myself I was "doing good" in cases like that, which are all too common.
John Edwards is a great example, reenacting the birth of a child born with cerebral palsy and blaming the outcome on the OB/Gyn. It's all an act, the science doesn't support his premise, and as long as he wins and collects millions, he feels he has done good.
