Frustrated with the lack of respect and support available when my beloved cat, Sonny, died, I decided to
create specialized support services as an adjunct in helping others experiencing pet loss grief.
In addition to legal research, there are many
other specialized support services that can be provided with such expert advice, including the automation of routine legal services at a lower cost than can the investor - owners of law firms (the ABS alternative), and advising on marketing strategies and methods of maximizing income and client services and satisfaction.
And every part of the medical professions» infrastructure is a highly
specialized support service for all other parts — scaled - up volume, interdependent parts, i.e., specialized doctors, technicians, technical tests, drugs, hospital services, equipment, materials, methods, etc..
If the overall fit is right, they should then inquire into accessibility and
specialized support services to ensure they will have proper access to the learning environment.
And there are many other parts of the work of lawyers that could be much more cost - efficiently done by
a specialized support service.
There are parts of the work done for all legal services that can be more cost - efficiently done, and equally competently done by a highly
specialized support service, particularly so legal research.
ABS's can't solve the problem because they won't create
the specialized support services that have the 2 factors necessary to solve the problem: (1) a higher degree of specialization than any law firm has; and, (2) the scaled - up volume of production that produces the economies of scale that no law firm is capable of achieving.
They have to, because law societies have not sponsored the creation of
the specialized support services, the use of which will make legal services affordable; (3) the recommendations of A2J committees are never submitted to trial - and - error learning.
In contrast, the legal profession uses a handcraftsman's method of production without
any specialized support services (except for the vendors of law books and electronic research services).
