class action
A class action is a legal ritual in which individuals borrow collective wisdom and funds to declare war on corporations. Participants dream of a penny rush at their lawyers' discretion in exchange for meager returns. Filing the suit is easy; resolving it is infinitely harder. The frenzy of victory lasts only a moment, and lawyers always collect their fees first. Cheers for justice roar outside the courtroom, while modest invoices quietly open inside.
