The state bars do, indeed, know full well what's going on.<BR/><BR/>What you need to keep in mind is that "globalization" is ENCOURAGED in today's business environment, especially the offshoring of service sector jobs to India. This includes telephone support for your computer, customer service for your credit cards, and, of course, litigation support tasks (which include document review).<BR/><BR/>Notwithstanding the potential liabilities of offshoring legal work, such as language problems in actually reviewing the documents, as well as potential problems with attorney-client privilege calls, companies are still encouraged to go over there and open up those markets.<BR/><BR/>Follow the money! If these companies can go over there with the blessing (or blind eye turned) by the U.S. government, ABA, and state bars and pay people 1/10th of what they pay here, they're going to do it, especially if this translates to higher profits. And also especially if these higher profits benefit the fat cat Big Law partners and their cronies in the U.S. government, ABA, and state bars.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, that's reality. Money talks, B.S. walks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-56197295650332566712008-12-17T16:20:00.000-05:002008-12-17T16:20:00.000-05:00http://tricom.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/25-percent-...http://tricom.wordpress.com/2008/12/17/25-percent-of-reported-e-discovery-opinions-in-2008-involved-sanctions-issues/<BR/><BR/>Interesting that an Indian outsource firm would raise the spectre of sanctions.
