Legal Demographics

Last night I attended a meeting of the American Inns of the Court , The Michigan State University College of Law American Inn of Court chapter. They featured a panel which showcased the trends in legal demographics and included some highly experienced, qualified and erudite lawyers .... and Tariq Hafeez. Tariq was easily atleast 30 years younger than the next youngest member of the panel.
What made the organization so interested in Tariq Hafeez was what he was trying to do with the legal profession - outsource it! Partners from some very large firms shook their heads in disbelief as the very concept. Yet at the very same time people were able to grasp the simple logic of its possibilities. But it has become more than a concept and is a reality.
Lawyers are becoming more cognizant of the changes within the legal profession. Another interesting fact that came out of the meeting was that there is an ever increasing number of International students who are stuyding American Law. In a new global economy and there seems to be emerging a truly global workforce of professionals networked from different parts of the world working toward common goals.
The forum had an excellently organized event which encouraged discourse and dissemination of knowedge.
