More, More than your reputation-embarrassment, thats what you wagered with Me, Prince Chuckie Charles: https://youtube/watch?v=xuoXkMZvD5Q Your Mom, Charles. The Cuomos, Charles. Your Brattons, Charles. Your Kin, Charles, you bet: RIP, Princess D! Its black and white: Lerach began his career, strangely enough, working the other side of the fence. In college he was a rock-ribbed Republican, even leading a rally in support of the Vietnam war. After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh Law School, he joined Reed Smith Shaw & McClay, a local white-shoe firm, where he did work for such clients as Mellon Bank and U.S. Steel. But in 1976, Lerach was recruited to the plaintiffs bar by Mel Weiss, the co-founder of Milberg Weiss, one of the earliest firms to focus on securities work. At the time shareholder litigation was a backwater, its practitioners viewed as bottom feeders. Because these firms were invariably small and underfunded--and dependent on contingency fees--they had a hard time taking on big companies. Few cases ever went to trial; the high-powered legal teams employed by corporations simply outlasted the plaintiffs. Weiss thought that if he could attract some good defense lawyers to his side, he could level the playing field and gain a measure of status, which he craved. Lerach agreed to join the firm but insisted on opening an office in San Diego, where he wanted to relocate--even though there was very little shareholder litigation in California.
