Our former editor made us promise to point to the much-anticipated posting on the ethics of contingency fees by personal injury lawyer and bon vivant Evan Schaeffer. Well, it came out yesterday, at Notes from the (Legal) Underground, and you can find it right here.
- Although recently retired, ethicalEsq left his usual prolix comments at Evan’s place, and he and Evan, plus Beldar, continued the conversation, in what some may even consider an interesting debate, which you are invited to join. As you may recall, ethicalEsq is far from comfortable with the use of the standard contingency fee. Evan defends its use, but is mensch enough to link to ethicalEsq’s arguments, so we don’t have to.
- thanks, evan. Now that Evan has fulfilled his pledge to write about contingency fees, he can go back to the far more entertaining fare that can normally be found at his Underground weblog.
