Of course this was a high profile case, but you know that even in smaller cases like sexual harassment, the costs of litigation is beyond the means of many Americans. My wife also sued for sexual harassment. It ended differently in our case. Since the organization's EEO dept tried to bury the case, she sued both the organization and the supervisor but the financial resources they had could drag out the process and eat up most of the damages coming to her. First, let's get one thing out on the table.
Law is business - big business.
A professional corporation is no less of a corporation than any other enterprise. I disagree that the 'one' purpose of a corporation is to make money. Any business must fulfill a need in society first or there is no money. I'm not sure why Mr. Munroe went into business, but I started mine to fulfill a need in the market. I know if I did that, the money would take care of itself.
