ABSTRACT
Ralph Nader is irked that America has 63 museums honoring the field of medicine but none at all honoring the field of law. He particularly wants to celebrate lawsuits dealing with such things as exploding Pintos, flammable pajamas, and overly hot McDonald's coffee. Nader wants to build a mock courtroom where famous tort cases would be re-enacted. Dog litigation would loom large at the museum, particularly since the recent article in the American Bar Association Journal pointing out that dogs and cats represent new areas of practice for attorneys to consider. One whole wing of the museum should be devoted to litigation over subway incidents. Canine litigation can be combined with tobacco litigation, as in the case brought by a Californian charging that her dog was killed by a neighbor's second-hand smoke. Some people may giggle over the Ralph museum.
