Abstract

The article, authored by Lester Brickman, serves as a rebuttal to Professor Charles Silver's rejoinder, which criticized Brickman's original article on asbestos litigation. Brickman defends his assertions regarding Silver's undisclosed retention by the law firm Baron & Budd to defend the controversial Script Memo, arguing that this nondisclosure breaches academic ethics. He also clarifies his stance on the role of attorney William Skepnek and reiterates his scholarly focus on legal ethics, particularly the issues surrounding contingency fees and their potential for overcharging clients. Brickman emphasizes the importance of academic integrity and the necessity of exposing ethical abuses in the legal system.
