Common-Sense Construction Of Unfair Claims Settlement Statutes: Restoring The Good Faith In Bad Faith, Victor Schwartz, Christopher E. Appel

American University Law Review

Second, it contends that history, constitutional structure, and theory all support conceiving of the right of access as the modern analogue to the right to petition government for redress. Third, the Article explores the ways in which the civil rights plaintiff's lawsuit tracks the behavior of the traditional dissident. Fourth, by way of a case study, the essay argues that recent restrictions - notably, a congressional limitation on the amount of fees counsel for …
