36. My version of "Tort Reform"
Class Action Attorney's fees must be paid in the same currency their class receives.

If a class action attorney sells out its class in a suit against Blockbuster Video, and every class member gets a $5 coupon for video rental and the attorney's fees are $3.5 million -- then the attorneys should get 700,000 coupons and no cash.
