Connecticut Bill Would Regulate Offshoring Document Review

19 January 2011 – A Connecticut state legislator is concerned that the outsourcing of legal work has taken jobs away from recent law school grads and introduced a bill to address the “doc review” situation. Under her proposal “unlicensed” offshore workers who engage in the drafting, reviewing or analyzing of legal documents for clients in Connecticut could be charged with unauthorized practice of law.

The general consensus is that overseas legal work is here to stay. But not everyone is happy about the legal outsourcing trend. Well, duh. Scott Bullock, a contract lawyer who has blogged about the woeful economics of non-big-firm practice, prertty much sums it up: “It’s just preposterous that we have to go to an American law school and pass a bar exam and then see our jobs shipped overseas. Why even require people to go to law school?”
