LexBlog Law Network Roundup – 6/9/09

The post that stands to me the most today has to be Cordell Parvin’s take on what the legal industry can learn from Amazon, Netlix and iTunes. He points to their "long tail" business models and the similarities between their success in the virtual realm and the rise of virtual law firms. There’s also a great post from Steve Jakubowski on the Chrysler bankruptcy. Like the rest of the posts from today, very interesting stuff.
