190	24	III.C. Kassab's admissions show Assignments violate public policy	Kassab admits the Assignments were a 'transparent device' to avoid limitations and 'salvage' claims — 'effectuated in an attempt to salvage the clients' barratry claims' with no practical effect. Under Sw. Bell and LAKXN, assignments that tend to increase or prolong litigation are void. Kassab's sole response is Pohl's 'unclean hands,' but overheated statements and citation to appellate court's discussion of 'past litigation' are not competent evidence. Kassab misleadingly cites M.A. Mills v. Kotts — that court explicitly stated courts 'may deem these rules to be an expression of public policy' to void a contract; Kassab omitted the word 'may,' suggesting courts 'cannot' void them.
