Well put. I think a silent majority of journalists are thinking this while their less introspective colleagues reduce the situation to David vs Goliath. I'm with David Friedman on this. http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/06/05/ot51-alien-vs-threadator/#comment-369046 http://slatestarcodex.com/2016/06/05/ot51-alien-vs-threadato... Making tort claims marketable solves multiple problems: 1. The tort victim who can’t afford a lawyer. He may be able to get a law firm to take the case for a share of the award, but … 2. How does he know which law firm will do a good job, which do a bad job, which sell him out for some covert payment? If he can sell his claim, all he needs to know is which firm offers him the highest price. I know some liberals think libertarians are gaga for markets but it seems like this would serve their egalitarian goals as well. Personally I had never considered the potential for the first point but now it seems obvious.
