Really? Like, with the Shepard's volumes? That's so incredibly inefficient it's practically (if not actually!) malpractice. Honestly, it'd be like me billing the client for reading a treatise cover to cover because I had an index-and-table-of-contents phobia.

But I know what you mean; there are lawyers in my firm who have their secretaries (or junior associates) print out their email for them to read.

Come on, guys, you're misinterpreting The Hammer. All he meant was that the Internets is good for only one thing, and one thing only. Porn. If you use it for anything else, especially something as complex as Legal Research, then you are kidding yourself. Simply outrageous.

You know as a llibrarian and qualified Internet Researcher (TM) I honestly believe you may have hit the nail on the proverbial here.

I'm sorry, the kind of help DeLay needs, like Chairman Mao's political power, comes from the barrel of a gun.

Unfortunately, he's quite mild compared to some of his constituents in Sugarland.
