  While researching former Pa. Supreme Court Justice Michael Musmanno—one of the nation’s outstanding jurists—came across notation of the prestegious annual Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Michael Musmanno award to Senator John Edwards during the past holidays. Edwards was cited for his innumerable accomplishments in the Musmanno tradition.
  More details can be found on the internet under Michael Musmanno.

  Wow, lawyers giving awards to other lawyers.  I’m impressed.  NOT!  Lawyers are a necessity in today’s sue-happy society, but I wonder who had a primary hand in bringing that reality about.  Personally I like the advice given by Shakespear.

  Money addicted trial lawyers and their settlement mills are a major factor in the high cost of health care and everything else for that matter.  Not to mention that fewer and fewer people are going into medical specialties.
