The Question: Should we democratize mass-tort litigation to provide more information, participation and control by the people whose claims are being asserted?
My Thesis: Cases raising claims for personal injury, even those presenting similar claims based on the same facts, have to be run by lawyers. There is no other way to provide for fair and efficient progress of cases toward satisfactory resolutions. Providing full and fair information to the plaintiffs for whom such lawsuits were filed is important, but participation and control by the plaintiffs themselves is likely to complicate, rather than improve, the fair and efficient progress of a mass-tort litigation.
