YouSue

The last thing we need in a litigious society: peer-to-peer litigation. But a new website offers to match potential plaintiffs with lawyers willing to take your case, as UPI reports:

Walter Olson, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute Center for Legal Policy, said he worries about the quality of lawyers that might cull an Internet site for potential clients.

"The main problem with this is quality control," Olson said. "If this were a dating service, you'd have to wonder -- whichever side of the dating you were on -- what kind of dunce are they going to bring me?"
Point taken. And remember, that dunce bills by the hour.
