This statement makes no sense. The article does not mention lawyers at all. In case you haven't noticed, there are three branches of government required to amke a law, or in the case of a city, an ordinance. The city council represents the legislative branch of the government, the mayor, the executive. The judicial branch merely interprets the law passed by the legislative branch and enforced by the executive.
I fail to see the "lawyer branch" of government involved. This is a political issue decided by politicians.
If I am bewildered, it is to wonder why anyone associates this issue with lawyers. Yes, I am aware of the New York-based suit against McDonalds. I am sure you are equally aware that it was dismissed sumarily and with prejudice. The McDonalds fat suit may reflect badly on class action plaintiffs' lawyers, but it doesn't have much to do with NYC banning trans fats.
