Introducing Prof. William Henderson
Introducing William Henderson, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Indiana Law School/Bloomington. Bill will be an occasional guest blogger on "Adam Smith, Esq.," as he and I are collaborating on the "Law Firm Research Project" investigating and analyzing the characteristics of large, sophisticated (primarily AmLaw 200) firms.
Bill also teaches the course "Law Firm as a Business Organization," one of only two courses in the country that address the subject. For reasons obvious to even the most casual reader of "Adam Smith, Esq.," Bill and I share a great deal of professional interests, and he has generously invited me to guest-lecture in his course in early November.
That said, Bill's interest in the economics of the law firm landscape are slightly broader than my own: Whereas I focus exclusively on AmLaw 200-league firms, Bill ranges farther afield to ask provocative questions about the plaintiff's bar and solo practitioners. Without further ado, Bill's first guest post follows.
