Summary
In class actions, attorneys effectively hire clients rather than act as their agent. Lawyer-financed, lawyer-controlled, and lawyer-settled, this entrepreneurial litigation invites lawyers to act in their own interest. John Coffee's goal is to save class action, not discard it, and to make private enforcement of law more democratically accountable.
