Edwards got $800,000 of the settlement. The start of a career as a

It does beggar the imagination, doesn't it, how some of these lawyers
can look themselves in the mirror. I'm reminded of a sexual discrimination
lawsuit against the city of Peoria a few years back. Twelve female civil
servants were routinely denied raises and promotions while less qualified
and younger males rotated through the ranks. The suit was in court for
two years when the city of Peoria offered a $12 million settlement. The
female lawyer who took the case recommended that her clients accept the
offer but got all huffy when one of the clients complained that the lawyer
was gonna charge $10 million and leave the 12 civil servants to divide
the remaining $2 million. The lady lawyer said that the $10 million was
actually LESS than her usual fee but she was satisfied to settle for so
little because she so strongly believed in the cause.

First thing we do ...
