One of these fledgling hoteliers is Sinclair Beecham, co-founder of the U.K.'s Pret A Manger sandwich-shop chain, who last autumn opened the 205-room Hoxton Hotel, which he calls an "urban lodge," in London. Urban lodge? Unlike a Shrager-inspired boutique hotel, where cool, sleek design often comes off cold, Hoxton Hotel has the homey comforts of a rural inn.

David Shrager, president of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, agreed. "Good faith is just a code word for saying we're sick and tired of the exclusionary rule," he complained...
...weak at best," he says. Wisconsin Law Professor Marc Galanter, who has studied Trubek's research as well as other data on how Americans resolve their differences, is even more emphatic. The alleged litigation explosion, he says, is "a strong admixture of naive speculation and undocumented assertion." Shrager believes that the latest research finally gives support to trial lawyers after years of criticism from the Chief Justice.
