Our new VP?
Born in South Carolina, John Edwards grew up in Robbins, North Carolina and likes to claim himself as a native North Carolinian. He graduated from North Carolina State with a BS in textiles before earning a law degree from the University of North Carolina.
Before being elected to the Senate he was a practicing personal-injury attorney for 20 years, achieving status as on the top ambulance-chasers in the state’s history. Edwards won verdicts totaling $152 million, including one for $25 million, the largest personal-injury verdict ever in North Carolina. With 30% or more going to him as the lawyer for every victory, he amassed a fortune estimated between $20 and $50 million.
The bulk of Mr. Edwards work was in medical malpractice. He vigorously opposes all tort reform.
