attorneys and training them on US common law is still disparately
lower than that of a US attorney.
- Efficiency: Countries like India have a
time difference of 12 hours from the US. This time difference
works to provide a 24 hour work force if required.

pool of professionals including attorneys. India's intellectual
prowess has been proven in the field of software development and
is now being tapped for other professional services. The legal
community potentially serves to benefit from this as well.
