- Description:
- The Clifford Baldowski cartoon depicts legislators standing on Georgia's capitol steps holding briefcases labeled "Attorney at law." One man is holding a newspaper with headlines that read "Major Reform of Judicial System Urged by Carter," "No-Fault Insurance Needed Now," and "Confidence in Lawyer-Legislature Role is Challenged." A sign to the side reads "Parking General Assembly Members Only." In 1971, Gov. Jimmy Carter proposed no-fault auto insurance that would restrict an accident victim's right to sue for auto injuries in an effort to lower insurance costs. The bill passed in 1972 although lawyers were against this bill.
