John Flood on biglaw and the Salvation Army

ADVERTISEMENTS

John Flood has posted "From Ethics to Regulation: The Re-Organization and Re-Professionalization of Large Law Firms in the 21st Century" at SSRN. And at his Random Academic Thoughts he relays a correspondent's comment that in Australia the Salvation Army may open a law firm. Wow. Talk about "moral activism" with your lawyering. I'm not necessarily for it or against it, but we may see some interesting experiments out of Australia and the UK that will test the traditional norm that law firms must be owned and operated by the practicing lawyers solely for the practice of law -- or else the legal advice will go astray.
