Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist has been using his bully pulpit to remind Congress that federal judges need a pay raise.

Consumer Class Actions Usurping Personal Injury Claims

Plaintiffs lawyers are filing more class actions against companies under state consumer-protection laws in conjunction with, or even in place of, traditional personal injury class actions, which have become too difficult to certify. Defense lawyers say injury-related consumer class actions have grown as the plaintiffs bar has sought out new "lucrative" areas for monetary relief. But plaintiffs lawyers say the suits are a different "avenue of relief" for an economic, rather than physical, injury.
