This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all started in 1996 when a client took a chance and called Bill with a simple message: "Here's your opportunity. Our regular lawyer has a conflict. Before the conflict, that lawyer said this case was a winner on a motion for summary judgment (MSJ) and provided a $70,000 fee budget. If you can get rid of it efficiently, I will send you more cases."With this incentive, Bill assessed the new case and agreed it was an MSJ case. But, rather than serving discovery and taking depositions, he went a different direction. He set out to convince the plaintiff's counsel to dismiss the case against his client due to its lack of merit and instead direct his attention to the other case defendants. It worked, and Bill secured a voluntary dismissal from the plaintiff's counsel without any discovery. The fee was less than $5,000, and the case was closed within six weeks of the assignment.While some might say the law firm "lost $65,000" by not litigating the case, they would be dead wrong. This result and the process that produced it led to hundreds of cases and were instrumental in growing the firm from four lawyers in Georgia to over fifty attorneys across several states. The goal remains to be the Disruptive Lawyer who consistently produces excellent results as defined by clients' specific performance goals.
Download or read book Social Control Through Law written by Roscoe Pound and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1997 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Social Control Through Law Roscoe Pound formulates a list of social-ethical principles with a three-fold purpose. First, they are meant to identify and explain human claims, demands, or interests of a given social order. Second, they express what the majority of individuals in a given society want the law to do. Third, they are meant to guide the courts in applying the law. Pound distinguishes between individual interests, public interests, and social interests. He warns that these three types of interests are overlapping and interdependent and that most claims, demands, and desires can be placed in all three categories. Pound's theory of social interests is crucial to his thinking about law and lies at the conceptual core of sociological jurisprudence.

Download or read book The Multinational Enterprise and Legal Control written by Cynthia Day Wallace and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2002-04-02 with total page 1364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-awaited new book from Cynthia Day Wallace picks up the thread of her best-selling "Legal Control of the Multinational Enterprise: National Regulatory Techniques and the Prospects for International Controls," In the present work she applies herself to legal and pragmatic aspects of control surrounding MNE operations. The primary focus is on legal and administrative techniques and measures practised by host states to control - transparently or less so - foreign MNE activity within their territories, or even extraterritorially when effects are felt within national boundaries. The primary geographic focus is the six most investment-intensive industrialized states (namely, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom). At the same time an important message of the present study is precisely the implication for the developing countries as well as for the emerging market economies of central and eastern Europe - and even Asian nations besides Japan, because it is the sharing of this very 'experience of years' that can best serve to facilitate a fuller participation on the part of the up-and-coming economies in the same global market place.

If you can get rid of it efficiently, I will send you more cases." With this incentive, Bill assessed the new case and agreed it was an MSJ case. However, rather than serving discovery and taking depositions to prepare the MSJ, he went a different direction. He immediately set out to convince plaintiff's counsel to dismiss the case against his client due to its lack of merit, and instead focus on the other case defendants. It took some arm twisting, but it worked, and a voluntary dismissal without any discovery was secured from plaintiff's counsel. The fee was less than $5,000 and the case was closed within six weeks from assignment.
