Common Good is a United States nonprofit organization that advocates a basic shift in legal structures "to restore common sense to American law." The organization, founded in 2002 by Philip K. Howard, a lawyer and author of The Death of Common Sense, advocates, among other things, the creation of special health courts to address medical malpractice complaints. Pilot health courts [1] are currently being designed by Common Good in partnership with the Harvard School of Public Health.
