<P>what is wrong with the social finction? If I can get a judge to curb a corporation's behavior as outside acceptable norms of conduct, then that is a social good....the real issue is who makes the norms...if left solely to judges and lawyers and stare decisis it will be a very static model...if one throws a strongly liberal legislature/executive into the mix then us lawyers can do more good....remember, the PLSRA was a legislative enactment brought about because of the success of lawyers.......
