   Of course they should. Should they take massive contingency fees for
   that work? I don't think so, no. (I also think the contingency fees
   awarded to the tobacco plaintiffs' lawyers were unethical, and not
   just a little.) But should they be required to take less than market
   value for their work, regardless of how brilliant, effective and
   massive in scale, and regardless of whether there was a possibility or
   probability of no recovery at all?

   I don't think so, but [1]some people do. Hat tip to [2]Overlawyered.
