Today, I came to know of all your comments over mail in question. I thank you for your stringent comments.

I could see the mail today and feel that the mail contains so grammatical errors that it deserved much more stringent comments.

But I would like to inform you that such mail soliciting work was not sent by G. P. Law Solutions. Now, I am enquiring as to how it happened.

Being morally responsible, I apologize.

Thanks.

Earlier you asked for good books to read. Read the first few chapters of Tom Friedman’s THE WORLD IS FLAT, which deals with this exact scenario. Many law firms are now having people in India do legal research after thei associates have clocked out. When the associates come back to work in the morning, they have a draft motion ready. It’s like a 24-7 law firm! Good posting, I have always wondered what would happen if we outsourced prosecution to India:

“Hello, what city and state and case number please?”

I have to admit that I didn’t yet go to their website. (I was waiting for their promotional material to be emailed to my associate, Mr. Greenfield.)

Does the Bar Council of India have an email address for filing complaints?

It hadn’t occurred to me that the ABA might issue ethics opinions. It’d probably be a better idea for the association to leave that function to some group with actual authority. An ethics opinion from the ABA is worth the paper it’s written on — but only if it’s electronically published.

I don’t care about protectionism. Until I can’t tell whether I’m corresponding with Advoate Prasad or gen-Y Bad Court Thingy, outsourcing won’t pose any sort of threat to real American lawyers.

It may, however, threaten the existence of Biglaw associates, the overpaid Gollums of law, wan creatures whose pathetic imitation of the practice of law makes misdemeanor fours look like masters of the universe.

To which I say, “have at it, my fellow Delhi-wallahs!”

Second, did you check out their web site? Here are the first two paragraphs on the landing page:

“Bar Council of India whose rules govern our practice and professional ethics prohibits soliciting and advertising. Hence, we do not intend to advertise or solicit in whatsoever manner.

“By proceeding further and clicking enter button herein below, you acknowledge and confirm that you, on your own accord, wish to know more about us for your own information and that there has been no solicitation, invitation or inducement of any sort whatsoever from any person associated with G. P. Law Solutions.”

Adding to the irony, if I click through to their outsourcing page, the third item on the list of services is “Preparing Web Disclaimers.”

Yet, the medical equivalent has chosen a more protectionist approach… We, as lawyers should change that!

Dear Scott,

To introduce me, I am Advoate Goutam Prasad and writting you on behalf of G. P. Law Solutions. Mark Bennett asked me to writ you with my firm profile.

I’m thinking to myself, “how exactly am I gonna get Bennett back for this one?”
