Ouch indeed.

The amateur futurist inside me is whispering that the stakes of various individual transactions have gotten so high that corporate attorneys and insurers will soon be looking to the legislatures for relief from malpractice burdens. Think "cap," a la med-mal. Congress won't give it, but state legislatures, which are about 80% lawyers anyway, will be sympathetic. Since potential tort claimants make a horrible lobby, and the trial lawyer lobby has been lukewarm to the idea of suing lawyers anyway, the idea will pass in a majority of states.

This will happen in a five-year window. Mark my inner futurist's words.
