			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span class="drop_cap">I</span> have just finished the Law Practice unit of the <a href="http://www.lawsocietysa.asn.au/members/plt.asp">GDLP</a> (a preadmission requirement in South Australia). To immerse us in the law practice experience, the first week’s reading was provided in the form of this brick:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.orzeszek.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/law-practice-folder.jpg"><img src="http://www.orzeszek.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/law-practice-folder-500x323.jpg" alt="Law Practice folder" title="Law Practice folder" width="500" height="323" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-176 orz-img-default-border" /></a></p>
<p>One of the problems with the legal profession is the <a href="http://www.law.com/jsp/legaltechnology/pubArticleLT.jsp?id=1202428866566">ingrained technophobia</a>, and the inevitable result. A digital copy of the folder could have been provided for a fraction of the cost, at least to the students who would have preferred a portable, indexed alternative.</p>
<p>At least the voluntary donation for the customary casual Friday was for the benefit of <a href="http://www.treesforlife.org.au/">Trees for Life</a>, since the Law Society has a sense of humour.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: The folder for the second week, Criminal Litigation, has arrived:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.orzeszek.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/gdlp-folders.jpg"><img src="http://www.orzeszek.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/gdlp-folders-500x375.jpg" alt="Two GDLP folders" title="Two GDLP folders" width="500" height="375" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-175 orz-img-default-border" /></a></p>
