FILING A LAWSUIT SUMMARY and MOVIE SUGGESTIONS are: The movie Flash of Genius (2008) best shows that the lay person often exceeds the knowledge and skill of a lawyer in complex matters, and that often a judge or jury does not properly award damages, but those in the know often understand that damages should be much larger than the general public understands in complex technical matters. IN FACT, LAYPERSONS ALSO KNOW AS PRO PERS OFTEN WIN THEIR APPEALS, and at least one Pro Per has won more appeals than many lawyers. Most lawyers do not file complex cases. Flash of Genius (2008) is about a professor who does his own legal work and wins a multimillion dollar verdict! The Sweet Hereafter (1997) is about the strange reasons person will not file a lawsuit after a bus driver causes children to die! Most law practiced by most lawyers is simplistic. My Sister's Keeper (2009) is the best medical/legal drama, with the most interestingly unbiased judge.
