2009-07-24 00:41:00 While it's nice to know that Chicago's very own federal judge Richard Posner is a fan of newspapers, it's interesting to hear what he thinks will help save them. Here's what he blogged today on the future of newspapers: "Expanding copyright law to bar online access to copyrighted materials without the copyright holder's consent, or to bar linking to or paraphrasing copyrighted materials without the copyright holder's consent, might be necessary to keep free riding on content financed by online newspapers from so impairing the incentive to create costly news-gathering operations that news services like Reuters and the Associated Press would become the only professional, nongovernmental sources of news and opinion."...

Working With Chinese and Korean Lawyers. The Big Four Issues With Each.
2009-04-19 08:13:00 Last year, I wrote an article for the Complete Lawyer, entitled, "Working with Korean and Chinese Lawyers." I was originally asked to write on working with Asian lawyers, in general, but convinced the magazine to allow me to focus on just China and Korea. I asked for this limitation because I did not believe myself experienced enough in working with lawyers from other Asian countries to write about working with them and, more importantly, because I did not see enough similarities to talk of Asia as a whole. I was reminded of that article today after receiving a complimentary email from a Chinese lawyer studying law here in the United States. An article like this has to generalize a bit and there are certainly exceptions to everything I say, but having worked with dozens of law firms in Korea and China, I have noticed the following four problems in dealing with lawyers from those two countries, respectively: KOREA 1. Non-responsiveness is the norm. American lawyers generall...

Lawyers trying not to sue? Getouttahere!
2009-01-16 22:30:00 Did you ever wonder what "practicing law" really means? The nitty-gritty of it, and the overall philosophy of it?A lot of lawyers, too many lawyers, think that "practicing law" means "suing people and trying cases." That is, a client comes in with a problem and the lawyer either defends a lawsuit or files a lawsuit to solve that problem. But I can tell you as a lawyer, lawsuits create as many problems as they solve, if not more.Lawyers, at their best, are problem solvers. And the best lawyers know that there's a better way to solve problems than sue everyone in sight. Take the Pennsylvania Lawyers at Cohen Seglias Pallas Greenhall & Furman PC, a full-service law firm with offices all over the mid-Atlantic seaboard. They can litigate, sure, and they've got tons of great lawyers to do just that.But what they do is MORE than simply sue-and-be-sued. Look at what they put into their philosophy:"We urge our clients to adopt proactive policies toward legal-sensitive business issue...

Now mind you, I'm super relieved that she is NOT the Vice-President Elect (so very, very relieved), but this bad news just keeps piling on:Sarah Palin left the national stage Wednesday, but the controversy over her role on the ticket flared as aides to John McCain disclosed new details about her expensive wardrobe purchases and revealed that a Republican Party lawyer would be dispatched to Alaska to inventory and retrieve the clothes still in her possession...For weeks, the McCain-Palin campaign has dealt with the fallout from the disclosure that the Republican National Committee was billed for $150,000 in wardrobe purchases for the Palin family -- a discovery that was widely ridiculed and undercut Palin's hockey mom appeal.Several McCain aides said they had recently discovered that Palin's traveling staff had used personal credit cards to spend as much as $20,000 to $30,000 on additional wardrobe items for Palin.[Source]

Lawyers are for Losers
2008-09-20 01:07:00 Observation by James Taranto, Wall Street Journal: Barack Obama and Joe Biden are both lawyers. Neither John McCain nor Sarah Palin is a lawyer. Kedwards were both lawyers too, whereas neither George W. Bush nor Dick Cheney is one. Eugene Volokh, a lawyer, extends the pattern further: Of 12 Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees since 1980, all but two (Jimmy Carter and Al Gore) were lawyers. Of the nine Republican nominees in the same period, all but two (Dan Quayle and Bob Dole) were nonlawyers. Very interesting, and hopefully a good omen.  Jimmy Carter and Al Gore are the only two democrat presidential nominees to recieve a majority of the popular vote since Lyndon B. Johson.  B.J. Clinton only got elected due some big eared fool on the ballot.  Clinton never got a majority of the popular vote.  Gore dd. So why to the ‘rats treat the Clintons like royalty but Gore like a pariah.  Maybe they just lke losing.

Minnesota and Minneapolis Divorce Lawyers
2008-08-31 13:50:00 This website is for people seeking info about Minnesota or Minneapolis divorce lawyers. It covers such issues as child custody, child support, parenting time, and visitation rights. Child custody proceedings will occur when a divorce is filed. In general, Minnesota leans in favour of joint legal custody—an arrangement in which both parents are involved in the child’s upbringing. However, there are scenarios in which sole legal custody is granted to one parent. These cases typically involve domestic abuse. Physical custody of a child depends mostly on the best interest of the child. This is determined by the following factors: 1. The wishes of the child’s parents as to custody 2. The reasonable preference of the child, if the court deems the child to be of sufficient age to express a preference 3. The child’s primary caretaker 4. The intimacy of the relationship between each parent and the child 5. The interaction of the child with the parent or parents siblings, and other...

My favorite takeaway: Lastly, having a general interest in other cultures really enhances global rainmaking. Prospective clients can sense whether a lawyer is genuinely interested in them and their culture—or is just trying to get the economic benefit of their new business. So true.

What Lawyers MUST Know About China
2008-06-01 11:27:00 I gave a talk to the Alaska Bar Association's International Law Section a couple of weeks ago. My topic was What Lawyers MUST Know About China, but if I had given it a subtitle, it would have been "the biggest mistakes foreign lawyers make when dealing with China." Here's the outline I used, with a few additions/clarifications in italics. This is very much a bare-bones outline, but it does highlight some of the most common and dangerous mistakes one can make by thinking "China's laws just can't be that different." 1. Company Formation -- Spend after formation -- Companies too often spend money too soon for their expenditures to apply to the minimum capital requirement. -- Is it legal? On a number of of occasions, my firm has been called in to register a WFOE for a US company that has already spent substantial sums scoping out the Chinese market, without knowing that what they propose to do in China is illegal. 2.

NLG Calls To Investigate Administration And Lawyers Who Wrote Torture Memos
2008-05-17 09:47:00 The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) calls on Congress to appoint a Special Prosecutor, independent of the Department of Justice, to investigate and prosecute high Bush officials and lawyers including John Yoo for their role in the torture of prisoners in U.S. custody. The NLG has issued a White Paper explaining why the memos, which purported to give objective legal advice, subject all those involved to prosecution under international and U.S. domestic law. This includes people who ordered the torture, approved it or gave advice to justify it. Guild President Marjorie Cohn testified on May 6 before the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties of the House Judiciary Committee, that some lawyers in the Department of Justice were "part of a common plan to violate U.S. and international laws outlawing torture." The 14-page White Paper details the ways in which the lawyers, including Yoo, Jay Bybee, David Addington, and Will...

2008-05-13 18:04:00 Court Hears More Claims of Vaccine-Autism Link May 13, 2008WASHINGTON — The United States Court of Federal Claims began another hearing on Monday to decide whether a vaccine additive led thousands of children to become autistic.The hearing is the second in a series of three in which the court is considering whether the government should pay millions of dollars to the parents of some 4,800 autistic children. In this hearing, parents are claiming that thimerosal, a preservative that contains mercury, damaged their children’s brains. Thimerosal was removed from all routinely administered childhood vaccines by 2001. Every major study and scientific organization to examine the issue has found no link between vaccination and autism, but the parents and their advocates have persisted.The claims are being heard in a special court set up by Congress 20 years ago when a series of scares nearly crippled the vaccine industry.
