Editor's note: The Consumer Attorneys of California president responds to an Aug. 2 Viewpoint column by Kimberly Stone of the tort reform group Civil Justice Association of California.

In the words of Ronald Reagan, "well, here we go again." It seems like only yesterday you were writing in The Recorder about some other tort reform issue, attempting to mislead its educated readers. In case you have not checked into the background of The Recorder, the paper is published for lawyers who practice law and have active bar cards in the state of California. It would seem that if you want to mislead people and make up facts about the law, you might want to pick people who did not attend three or four years of law school, sit for and pass the California bar exam and care enough about their profession to read The Recorder. Or it simply could be that you are misinformed about California's Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act. In that case perhaps you need a tutorial on MICRA, so that you can stop spreading misinformation to the other 38 million people in California who are uninformed and might actually think you are sharing facts.
