I read somewhere that some lawyers are suggesting that the courts or the legislature develop standard guidelines for alimony. The idea seems to be that there is too much variation from judge to judge, region to region and the public would be better served with a more predictable and uniform system. We had better be careful with this; we might put ourselves out of business.
I am reading a book called The Innovator's Guide to Growth, published by the Harvard Business Press. (A friend of a friend is one of the authors, so the price was right.) Clayton Christensen wrote the foreword, and I am a big fan of his views. Christensen's observations of how "disruptive" technologies allow new entrants access to closed markets, to render obsolete long-established systems and to displace traditional market dominators goes a long way towards understanding what is happening to the practice of law.
