lawyerschile: China Suspends 1,000 Lawyers

China Suspends 1,000 Lawyers

When I posted about the disbarment threats to lawyers in Beijing, only 20 faced a risk of losing their livelihoods. Turns out that the situation is far worse, with the Beijing Administration of Judicial Lawyers suspending the licenses of over 1,000 lawyers and 90 law firms for failing to pass a newly concocted registration exam, reports New York-based New Tang Dynasty Television.

According to the article, Shanghai human rights lawyer Ma Tianlin believes the suspension of licenses is retaliation by the Beijing Justice Bureau over the fact that many Beijing lawyers have demanded direct election of members to the Beijing Bar Association. Some of the lawyers have appealed to the bureau and the bar association, and have tried to negotiate with officials about the cancellation and suspension of lawyers' licenses.

lawyerschile; Virtual Law Firms Going Viral

Virtual Law Firms Going Viral

Nearly a year ago, I posted here about the launch of Virtual Law Partners, an 18-member corporate and transactional virtual firm of "elite" lawyers. Though some observers expressed doubt about the viability of the VLP model, today the firm has nearly 40 lawyers.

But VLP isn't alone -- more and more virtual firms are cropping up. As the National Post blog describes, there's the Rimon Law Group and Atlanta-based FSB Group. Both of these are virtual firms comprised of lawyers with at least 10 years of large firm experience; like VLP, Rimon focuses largely on transactional and corporate work, while the 50 attorney FSB Group handles a wide range of practice areas.

In addition to these large virtual firm models that serve corporate clients, there are also smaller virtual practices geared toward individuals or small entrepreneurs. Larry Bodine has a post today about Natoli-Lapin, a two-man virtual shop founded in 2008 that is building a niche in low-cost legal services for entrepreneurs, artists and others launching new business ventures. And Stephanie Kimbro's Virtual Law Practice blog lists a dozen solo and small firms operating virtually, including Kimbro herself in North Carolina. The ABA's GP Solo magazine documents the solo/small firm trend to create virtual practices, with this article by Aviva Cuyler and Niki Black.

The experiences of these virtual firms, large or small, suggest that they provide... [MORE]

lawyerschile: Michael Jackson's Death and Malpractice Issues

Michael Jackson's Death and Malpractice Issues

Michael Jackson's death could potentially raise medical malpractice and criminal liability issues, writes Eric Turkewitz at the New York Personal Injury Attorney Blog. With speculation that prescription medications may have contributed to Jackson's death, Turkewitz explores some of the issues implicated.

First among the questions that will likely be explored is whether the medications were all provided by a single doctor. If so, Turkewitz predicts that the doctor could be exposed to criminal prosecution (though unlikely), revocation of his medical license or a civil suit. If more than one doctor was involved, a lawsuit would need to examine whether the doctors knew about each other and the medications they were prescribing. Other potential lawsuit targets include the pharmacists who prescribed the drugs, though they may have immunity for following doctors' orders.

On the damages end, there are also questions about... [MORE]
