Keep up the great work,

I need someone like Miss Natasha Sivanandan to fight my case because I am tired of the powers that be kicking me down. Where can I find her.

Comment on How we reported on Japan by Ralph Savage

Good post Tim. I noted that the Insurance Insider made all of its coverage free in the wake of the Japanese Tsunami. Considering the sensitive nature of this event it was quite a bold move to make a disaster into a marketing opportunity!

interesting point about how the papers don’t index their content by date. It would be really useful if you could just type in a date and see precisely what was being reported…

Comment on Media roundup – legal aid cuts and Jackson round 2 by Paul Walker

It seems that following Kenneth Clarke’s announcement, the UK is slipping ever faster into an American culture of legality and law where money talks, what ever the true position.

This is a sad day for British culture as we follow a truly crocked and corrupt US approach to justice – if indeed it can ever be called that. The US system is turning in on itself ad becoming ever more inward facing, choosing where possible to avoid the scrutiny of overseas judicial process in the knowledge of its own bias, inability to follow rules of procedure and general corruption.

The UK should actively try to avoid this route as it would take years and millions of pounds to reverse should that become necessary. The US is a classic example of why this approach does not work and the utility of Legal Aid was one aspect that separated the UK from this incredulous and ‘greed driven’ approach.

Be warned, the “UK of A” is fast approaching. Civil rights, liberties and justice are on their way out… will the last person to leave please turn the lights off…

Comment on Is the rise of LPO now an inevitability? by Anna Carlyn

I have learned a lot about outsourcing, to the point where I think it is a good thing. The statistics suggest it is likely that off-shore outsourcing leads to more jobs in the West, not fewer. http://bit.ly/c42NES On the legal process outsourcing front, I’ve seen with my own eyes how off-shore legal outsourcing, especially high-end, legal services KPO (knowledge process outsourcing), creates more legal work in the West, as deals previously undone, and litigations previously settled (or never filed), due to excessive legal costs, are suddenly affordable. Affordability means more work for the Western lawyers involved in supervision, editing, negotiating, and/or appearing in court.

Comment on Do western lawyers have an opportunity with LPO? by superaficionado

This is an interesting post, I have been doing some research into this concept and it seems that big law firms outsource labor, but not tasks that require legal proficiency. The ABA strictly states that all legal matters must be handled by U.S. bar certified lawyers, but labor that is normally given to incoming attorneys can be outsourced overseas. Upper level associates are relocated overseas to make sure these laborers are properly handling the assigned tasks.
