I wholeheartedly agree with your description of the problem with class action lawsuits, the lawyers settle to their advantage rather than to the class members' advantage. Instead of using champerty I think that we should give judges the power to rule on whether a negotiated settlement in a class action is actually in the plaintiff class' best interests.
