Legal News – LexBlogosphere: 10/14/08
October 14, 2008
Today’s LexBlogosphere roundup includes a thought-provoking post by Ed Poll suggesting that law firms should teach experienced lawyers new practice areas instead of hiring younger and cheaper attorneys to replace them. I find this interesting because it’s so similar to what’s going on at newspapers across the country. Is it as tough to get an experienced lawyer to learn a new practice area as it is to convince a seasoned beat reporter to start blogging and shooting video?
