But do they have super powers?

They are no longer mere trial lawyers. They are now "advocates for justice."

No, we're not talking about the latest summer superhero flick.

The N.C. Academy of Trial Lawyers announced today that they are changing their name. From now on, they will be known as the "N.C. Advocates for Justice."

The group approved the name change at their annual convention this weekend.

"N.C. Advocates for Justice better reflects exactly what we do on a day-to-day basis," said Joe Cheshire, president of the organization. "It does a better job of articulating what this organization is all about - fighting for justice and protecting people's rights."

We wonder if they're going to start wearing capes, too.
