Can anybody point me to a summary of John Edwards' trials?
I need this to refute somebody that voted against Edwards because this person believed the hype about Edwards being an ambulance chasing trial lawyer. I think everybody knows about the one case with the little girl that was grievously injured by a defective product, but I'm looking for more than just that.

This guy is pretty intelligent, so if I give him some info, it may at least get him to look deeper in the future. Basically, this guy dislikes Bush, but hates trial lawyers more than Bush. I think his exact quote was "lowest scum of the earth."

1. well, he does have a book...
http://www.johnedwards2004.com/fourtrials/

In Four Trials, Edwards tells the gripping legal and personal story of some of the remarkable people he represented in his years as a lawyer. In discussing their landmark cases, and their determination and courage, he writes of his own past in the mill towns of his youth and in his family as central to his ambitions of justice and his eventual decision to enter politics. And Senator Edwards writes of how personal tragedy altered his own life in April 1996 - and how after six months away from work, he returned to the courtroom for one of the most meaningful cases of his entire career
