Public Convinced by Legal Urban Legends
Urban legends about outrageous jury awards continue to circulate on the
Internet and in the news. Many of these tall tales are widely accepted,
and media observers say legends have helped to convince the public of the
need for tort reform. Cases like the McDonald's coffee case also
perpetuate myths, since many of the facts are left out of popular
coverage. Myron Levin, LA Times 08/14/2005
