Filling the big chair

Article Abstract:

Managing commercial law firms can involve a number of challenges. Professional practices may use a partnership structure, with management, stockholders, sales staff and the production line being the partners. Firms tend to use their own methods, and there is a dearth of common benchmarks. Law firms tend to want new recruits to bring clients, yet do not want to lose clients when individuals leave. Personal client followings may be detrimental to the law firm if this means that clients leave with individuals.

Who's afraid of the big, bad Woolf?

Article Abstract:

There has been a fall in numbersof cases in law courts in Manchester, England, as a result of talk of litigation reforms, strong penalties, and high legal fees. Mediation and other ways of resolving disputes have become more popular. There is some confusion about the reforms, which include a new emphasis on case management by law courts. Mini-trials are also used and involve a day in which the case is previewed in an informal way, with the judge offering an opinion.
