Rob Millard on "Bad" Clients.

Note also Rule 1 - Represent Only Clients You "Like". However, Edge International consultant Rob Millard, over at his The Adventure of Strategy blog, has just published on the subject of a different kind of "bad": the effect of detractors and non-promoters of your business on your business. A Principal with Edge in South Africa, Rob has written an insightful, well-researched and must-reading piece on the drain of these problem clients entitled What Do "Bad" Clients Cost Your Firm?

Blawg Review #56 - Point of Law

It's an understatement to note that the people behind Point of Law, which crafted this week's Blawg Review, are part of a talented bund of lawyers, thinkers and commentators on the U.S. litigation system. Blawg Review #56 is here. Jointly published by the Manhattan Institute and AEI, Point of Law includes writers like Peter Huber, who has helped make the law and courtrooms more science-savvy, and Philip Howard, author of The Death of Common Sense, who works at a Washington, D.C. law firm I labored at one summer long ago. Put these people on your blog roll.
