No fault auto insurance bill defeated in House Commerce
Trial lawyers lobby helped derail a federal no fault auto insurance bill 22 to 19 in the House Commerce Committee. Opponents led by the American Bar Association and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America argue limits on sue rights are wrong though the plan would cap medical benefits at 100000 per victim. Supporters say a uniform national system is fairer and faster even with access to higher lawsuits. The measure faces possible revival and appeal.

Chief Justice Moore Led Iowa Supreme Court Reforms
Chief Justice C Edwin Moore, on the Iowa Supreme Court for 16 years and 8 percent of that as chief, helped establish a client security fund, push for a court of appeals, mandate audits of law firms, and require 15 hours of annual continuing education. He and predecessor Theodore Garfield increased court accessibility. Moore retired at 75 after about 500 cases, citing the 1972 reapportionment case as most important for creating a near equal representation plan, aligning with one person one vote. His genial presence will be missed.
