Renaming ATLA: The Contest Continues

The WSJ editorial page pens an item on the imminent renaming of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, which votes today on changing the moniker of the plaintiffs’ bar organization. The editorial says it looks like they’re going to go with “the impressively unspecific and high-minded ‘American Association for Justice.’”

“Driving this switcheroo,” the editorial reads, “is ATLA’s concern that more and more Americans are under the impression that trial lawyers are less interested in justice than they are in generating frivolous lawsuits that pad their own bank accounts.”
