re: #113 SixDegrees

I’m aware of that. However, all of these cases were settled very rapidly. It’s hard to see where they amount to a half million dollars worth of legal time.

Also, people who are exposed to legal entanglements on a regular basis typically have attorneys on retainer. For routine consultations and nasty form letters, their costs are already covered. I would hope that any governor would take such a step, particularly if the state law is really as described. But even without a retained attorney, that’s a lotta expenses to rack up.

$500,000 total bill divided by 17 suits comes out to a little over $29,000 per suit. A lawyer getting $500 an hour only has to log in less than 60 hours to gete to 29K
