Predictions from 2006 coming true?

By Edward Poll, J.D., M.B.A., CMC

divfont face="Arial"In an email today, one of my readers said:nbsp;nbsp; quot;Perusing your archives, I came across your a href="http://www.lawbiz.com/march_2006.html"March 2006/a Newsletter (see article 2 C) with the title quot;What do you really do as a Lawyerquot; in which you talk about GM not listening to consumers and ending with words quot;predictingquot; quot;. . . GM's bankruptcy.quot;nbsp;nbsp; How prescient you were (and hopefully quot;arequot;).quot;nbsp; br / /font/div divnbsp;/div divfont face="Arial"What Inbsp;specifically said was:nbsp; emquot;What do you really do as a lawyer? You don't practice law, you serve clients. General Motors, once the largest corporation in the world, lost sight of the fact that its real purpose was serving customers, not making cars. Before too long we may read about GM's bankruptcy.quot;/emnbsp; /font/div divnbsp;/div divfont face="Arial"The reference here was comparing GM with the service that lawyers need to provide in order to serve clients and grow their practice.nbsp; /fontMy comments then are still valid today. Except that now the prospect of a bankruptcy is real ... In fact, one might say that the strongnbsp;/strong (though not in the Court) has already taken place./div divnbsp;/div divfont face="Arial"Thanks, Ross, for going back to see the future./font/div pa name="article3"/a/pimg src="http://feeds.lexblog.com/~r/LawBizBlog/~4/490869126" height="1" width="1"/
