Karl Rovian Campaign Advice For Trial Lawyers Running For Congress
Category: Why Didn't I Think Of That?
I appreciate the Walter Olson post at Overlawyered that will help me shape my campaign strategy when I run for Congress.
Memo to campaign consultants
If you're running someone for Congress and he wants to make an issue out of his support for litigation reform -- even if, or especially if, he's actually shown a willingness to support such reform as a state legislator -- it's probably best if his own law firm doesn't have a full-page "We get results!" ad in the Yellow Pages inviting victims of "slip and fall injuries, medical negligence ... dog-bite injuries, wrongful death [and] defective products" to "put our experience to work for you. ... No fee unless you collect." (Eric Zorn, "Candidate's reform talk may be adding insult to injury", Chicago Tribune, Jun. 22).
I will have to change my firm advertising to say, "We get relatively modest and extremely fair results!" And, I will definitely need to downplay my firm's experience. Walter could be the next Karl Rove.
