QuoteOriginally posted by: linuxuser99>> This country is full of them (why, oh why, can't we outsource these bastards?!?) and they're doing absolutely nothing to propel forward this economyAlready being done - there are a bunch of companies in India where you can get all of your legal research done for circa $20 per hour by a qualified Indian Lawyer (often an academic from a Uni) using a US Laws Library. They're both basically Common Law so is an easy transition to make. The results are then passed back to you where you sell it on. Lots of people talking about it being the death knell for US law as you have it now.The thought that legal advice should be outsourced to someone who is half a world away for $20 an hour may sound nice on paper, but anyone who has deal experience knows just how valuable a good lawyer can be. Academic lawyers are about as good at transactional law as theoretical physicists are at designing bridges. There is a lot more to lawyering than reading and interpreting statute and cases. Also lawyers who aren't admitted to practice in the jurisdiction governing the entity/transaction will not be able opine with respect to the matter under consideration. Try calling your local neighborhood lawyer and explaining to him that most of your legal budget has gone overseas but you'd still like to get an opinion from him.Mike, you continue to plumb the depths of idiocy with every last one of your posts. Lawyers work for people and corporations. In America you have to have standing to litigate. Lawyers do not have standing, that's what they need clients for. People initiate lawsuits. Lawyers litigate them. Not every lawyer is a civil lawyer and not all civil lawyers are litigators. In case you were wondering, since you're hinting at it in this post, I don't believe that you went to Harvard, and I think that has been proven here. I also don't believe that you worked at Goldman or Merrill. Not that it matters what your background is, your posts demonstrate your intellect approximately 2.5 times per day.

I always get my suits from Mr. Raja M Daswani of Kowloon. He's the best.

Nonius,Polyster is bad for your skin.

He's the best.Mr. Daswani says that he makes the best suits, I read it in an article (A Fitting End to the Ill-Fitting British Suit) in the FT...."The price of a Daswani suit is astonishing. We are talking 129 pounds for a fully lined, made-to measure summer suit ina lightweight wool or linen...."that sounds like the writing of an FT journalist, doesn't it?

Nonius,There is a Lal Daswani in Kowloon (you see, I'm learning to use google) who charges about 10 times the figure that you quote. They also travel around the world. Tailor made suits seem to be quite a business.

You're right. With only a few months to go until your birthday, I was delighted to find something for you as a gift.

You win. You are much more evil than I will ever be.
