Nonlawyer Participation in Legal Firms

Contrary to what Peter Lippe believes (see previous Novalawcity blog post), law faculty are not always focused on theoretical topics that are irrelevant to the practice of law.  An article soon to be published in the Indiana Law Journal v. 85 (2009), and now available on Boston College of Law's NELLCO repository site,  deals with an issue of practical concern to many members of the bar: the ethical use of nonlawyers within law firms.
