I thought I'd post the below article from the Washington Post about the growing outsourcing of legal work to India, which has been discussed in class at various points. I thought it was interesting how the article notes how "e-discovery," which I'm assuming was meant to help lawyers be more efficient, has been an impetus to this outsourcing movement. I also wonder how much of a concern the security issue referenced in the article, really is for potential clients. From what I could tell while working at law firms, security with regard to the electronic storage and access to documents was always a very big concern.
