Lawyers Use Internet to Find Avista Plaintiffs
LCG, Sept. 5, 2000Call it high-tech ambulance-chasing.

There often is for the lawyers. There often isn't for the plaintiffs.One of the many law firms using the Internet to scare up a case against Avista is Berman, DeValerio & Pease, of Boston. It or they warned in an announcement on the Internet Friday that "a deadline is fast approaching for shareholders who want to sue" Avista and five other companies.
