law of lawyering around the web (May 21, 2010)

Law Risk Management Blog takes a look at proposed changes to the Texas rules.     .  .  .  .  .     Law of Criminal Defense points us to this ABA Journal story about a lawyer accused of altering vouchers to the tune of $132,000.     .  .  .  .  .     Something from California Attorneys Fees blog that I hadn't heard before: the Arizona law regarding illegal aliens has an attorneys fee provision for citizens who sue state entities for failure to fully exercise immigration law enforcement.  (Btw, that site is immensely useful for California lawyers and is an example of how blogging can replace/supplement traditional legal reporters.)     .  .  .  .  .     Three year suspension for lawyer who altered transcripts to get jobs.     .  .  .  .  .     Portrait of an in-house lawyer, Brett Hart, who climbed to the top at Sara Lee.  The story sketches the life and responsibilities of corporate GC's.  (You may have heard of the "Sara Lee Letter," spearheaded by former Sara Lee GC Roderick Palmore, and pushed by ACC, which promotes diversity hiring and staffing at biglaw. The article suggests that Hart will continue to promote that movement.)     .  .  .  .  .     Worth reading: "Legal process outsourcing (LPO) company Integreon has entered into what it describes in a press release as the largest legal outsourcing deal ever, worth $852 million over 10 years, with British law firm CMS Cameron McKenna."     .  .  .  .  .
