(For Your Information 背景介紹)

This book has information about layers and their priorites. It covers how they look out for themselves and their clients, why they say there's no conflict of interest, and how no stone is left unturned for client, regardless of cost. The attorney is tireless in checking every angle. This is basically because they are paid by the hour. The more time they spend on the case, the more they get paid.

這本書(shū)談到律師和他們處理事情的輕重緩急態(tài)度，也談到他們?nèi)绾紊朴诰S護(hù)自身和客戶(hù)的利益，以及他們會(huì)不惜成本，強(qiáng)說(shuō)事情沒(méi)有利益沖突，或堅(jiān)稱(chēng)客戶(hù)的情況會(huì)很順利的原因。在仔細(xì)調(diào)查事件層面時(shí)，律師從不感到疲倦，這是因?yàn)樗麄儼磿r(shí)數(shù)計(jì)費(fèi)，他們花在案子上的時(shí)間越長(zhǎng)，賺的錢(qián)都多。

The fact that an in-house attorney handles similar situations faster and cheaper than attorneys paid by the hour is one of those mysteries of life we mere mortals will never understand without the help of an attorney.

當(dāng)企業(yè)雇有專(zhuān)屬的律師，處理類(lèi)似案件的速度就會(huì)比較快，而收費(fèi)在比以外面按時(shí)計(jì)費(fèi)的律師低。為什么公司內(nèi)部的律師處理案件的速度比較快，恐怕不靠律師幫忙，我們這些平凡百姓也不會(huì)懂。

The only way to avoid prolonged legal sessions and get your lawyer to do things quickly to hire one as an employee. Then, the mindset will immediately change to that of normal employee. The only problem is American lawyers don't work cheaply, and many companies don't have enough work to keep a full time lawyer busy. So most of us are doomed to hiring a large law firm and paying through the nose.

要避免冗長(zhǎng)的法律程序，讓律師處理事情的速度快一點(diǎn)，只有一個(gè)辦法———就是雇用他為員工。一旦他成為你的員工，他的想法就會(huì)立刻改變，變得和其他同事一樣。惟一的麻煩是，美國(guó)律師的薪水都很高，多數(shù)公司沒(méi)有足夠的工作，可以讓一位全職律師保持忙碌。所以我們大部分的人沒(méi)有其他選擇，只好雇用大型大型法律，多付很多的金錢(qián)。
