Law via the Internet 2011
I generally avoid posting about far-fetched, Jestons-inspired stuff. Sure, someday computers will practice law, instant video conferencing with replace Court appearances and most of the people reading this post will be out of a job. But until that day, law practice is still a job, more or less. Learning how lawyers might practice in 100 years is of marginal interest. Of course that simple fact doesn’t stop professors and judges from using euphemisms like “law is a calling” or “the law is a profession.” That sounds great until I try to pay my mortgage with the gratitude of a non-paying client or the respect of my peers. Then it’s every man for himself. That said, jut just this one time I noticed a conference (=waste of time) in Hong Kong (=expensive) sponsored by the University of Hong Kong (=foreign law with no bearing on real life) and just had to post about it. Feel free to enjoy it for about 10 seconds. Then get back to work. Posted via email from practice (redux)
