The class action lawsuit is a great leveler. It ensures that every American, rich or poor, can do his bit to help trial lawyers make money. Fair enough, say the lawyers. Plaintiffs, who could not afford to pursue their claims individually, get expert representation with no payment up-front. If the class eventually prevails, and the lawyers' cut runs into the millions, justice has been served all round.
