There is a difference between suing over an economic issue, which can be done if there is an actual defendant who can be named & suing economic reality itself, which can't be done because economic reality cannot be named as a defendant.

You keep going on and on about what attorneys should know and you don't even sound like an attorney. The economic reality that is different now is that due to the depression, the projects that used to be here are not here. If the outsourcers are successfully sued, that would be a good thing but there is no unauthorized practice of law complaint to be made if the jobs wind up back in the U.S. but not here due to the depression. We would still be out of work. What is it about that simple fact that you can't understand? You do know that you have to have a defendant in a lawsuit don't you? Who would your proposed defendant be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-32218181882498330122009-02-04T20:41:00.000-05:002009-02-04T20:41:00.000-05:00a) Put up or shut up?

Litigation is a factor among others in markets. How is this in dispute? Why do I have to put up anything to prove an idea that your employers and industry use every day at work?<BR/><BR/>b) Yes, there is a down turn in the economy, but these issues existed before the downturn and will exist after. Again, what your point? They are two separate issues that both happen to affect contract attorneys. You are the one seeking to link them as if they a result of the same thing. This is why I listed them as separate posts. They aren't linked other than defining a temporary downturn as the excuse for the way temp attorneys are treated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19584611.post-63765306796431387252009-02-04T20:21:00.000-05:002009-02-04T20:21:00.000-05:00Who exactly is it we are supposed to sue if the jo...Who exactly is it we are supposed to sue if the jobs that are outsourced come back but to somewhere else in the country because of the economic reality that we are in a depression?

But you would think lawyers who regularly work on cases involving one party suing another over "economic" reality would realize that "reality" is all in how you define it. I don't expect "Joe the Plumber" to understand this, but seriously, I question whether people are on doc reviews if they got to ask that question. The whole point of much of the litigation we see is one party does not like an economic outcome and is suing another party over it. And here's the surprise: sometimes those parties who sue economic reality win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
