Mississippi State Senate
Judiciary Division A Committee
“I have read the book, and I am impressed. Among other things, you address the transaction costs
of litigation (attorney's fees, expenses, etc.), which is the white elephant in the middle of the living room which few people
want to discuss.
Your suggestion of a fee shifting
procedure whereby the current offer of judgment
rule is modified to include attorney's fees, rather than just court costs, has a great deal of merit. I believe it is far
superior than some of the alternative ideas that have been tried . . . . Your proposal has the advantage of conforming
judicial procedure, rather than adding another extra-judicial system, and thus deserves serious consideration.”

services company Interland Inc., will soon will publish a book called "Out of Balance: Prescriptions for Reforming the American
Litigation System . . . ."
