  I’m disappointed by Jeff Carr’s lpt interview on alternative fees (via Dennis Kennedy);

  
  

  no real help for the “main street” consumer/client — not even flexible contingent fees. 

  
  

  Like us, Carr does, however, stress that value billing should mean lower fees.

  Naked hypocrisy:  Overlawyered uncovers the irony of lawyers opposing disclosure
  
  
  requirements aimed at protecting clients from attorneys who practice without adequate

Laurie Hyde Smith has more kinds of artistic talent than any five people should be
allowed to possess. But, it is her genuine caring (for people and pets and the planet)
that is her most prominent trait. That makes me grateful that she’s been a friend for
over three decades and grateful she has chosen to visit Earth while I’m around.

Happy Birthday, Laurie! I hope all is well in Laurie’s World (Corolla, NC).
