The American Medical Association has finally recognized the important role that lawyers play in advancing the interests of their clients in the justice system. Indeed, it has even created a "Litigation Center" to "ensure physicians’ rights are upheld in the most important challenges facing today’s working physician."
Rumor has it that the AMA is considering whether their patients should have the same access to legal representation and the civil justice system. A report on this issue is due December 25, 2067.
