For a brief moment I thought that the folks over at Bracewell & Giuliani had a competitive advantage over the rest of us. When scanning the titles of the Bracewell’s “People Search“, it appears that Bracewell has someone with the grand title of “Master of Everything“. Unfortunately, it turns out that

Toby and I have talked to a lot of folks about the profits that legal research vendors (AKA Wexisberg™) make and how they are lagging indicators during a down economy.
