- heartbreak 9y agoMy real point is that the chances of law firms breaking the law over paralegal compensation is basically nil. Paralegal salaries make up an itty bitty fraction of the money that moves around these firms.
- gldhfjcufuffi 9y agoWasn't that the point? Also, the wage suppression is related to the fact that the paralegals produce far more value than they are paid, not a legal issue. You might say, hey that's a common feature of the economy. You'd be right.
- heartbreak 9y agoThe issue I was discussing was the allegation that firms were calling around in a wage suppression conspiracy. Like Google/Apple/etc got caught doing.
- forapurpose 9y ago> the chances of law firms breaking the law over paralegal compensation is basically nil. Paralegal salaries make up an itty bitty fraction of the money that moves around these firms. I understand the theory, but the reality IME is much different. Plenty of doctors drink too much, take drugs, and otherwise don't care for their own health, and plenty of lawyers are reckless with the law in managing their own businesses. (Plenty of people on HN probably use crappy passwords.)
- gozur88 9y agoPeople sue, and win, over this kind of price fixing all the time. Makes me think the evidence isn't as clear cut as he believes.
