The discussion should be whether the laws are fair to all parties or should be changed to make them so.

Those same laws in 1970s, well, provided are multiple examples including Firestone 500 and Beverly Hills Supper Club. Did tort laws change? No. What changed?

Tort reform believes we can legislate 'fair' by restricting lawyers. Yes laws could change. For example empower logical members of a jury at the expense of emotional ones. Fill a jury room with facts. Today a jury room is full only of perceptions found inside each brain. That is perfect for those who think emotionally. That is a recipe for unfair.

So where do restrictions on lawyers solve this problem? Where is this reform that would solve 'unfair'? Where are the specific examples? All I see are 'blame the lawyer' posts. Any attempt to restrict lawyers does not solve this obvious problem.
