Legal Publisher Exploring Outsourcing Database Work

On December 10, 2003, I posted Are Paralegal Work and Legal Research Next to Go Offshore? As a follow-up, today’s Minneapolis Star Tribune published a more detailed article on this issue. It specifically focuses on how Thomson West, the legal publishing unit of Thomson Corporation, has established a test project for offshore work in India. According to the article, “just a few months into the quiet Indian pilot-office experience, the half-dozen or so Indian lawyers have been doing online interpretation and legal-classification of “unpublished decisions” of U.S. state and lower courts that are not considered big deals — or “precedential” in legal parlance.”
