Mississippi plaintiff’s lawyer Richard “Dickie” Scruggs has been the subject of a couple of previous posts (here, here and here) regarding the detrimental impact that his litigation approach is having on his home state’s insurance markets.
Detrimental impact on insurance markets is one thing. But an indictment alleging bribery of a judge is another level of trouble altogether. Walter Olson’s Overlawyered is the go-to site for information on the Dickie Scruggs affair, with posts here, here and here linking to news reports and blog posts in the first week after the indictment. Don’t miss Walter’s coverage. It’s first rate.
