Sample text

Such a direct connection between legal and business does not exist for in-house legal departments in complex enterprises. Legal departments are cost-centers providing an internal support function for selling non-legal products and services, and in doing so, they must observe corporate requirements and economies of scope and scale. By having to reconcile two often conflicting normative frames of reference, legal in-house departments find themselves in a predicament which can best be expressed as the conflict between two relational paradigms: win-win versus win-lose.

My friend’s situation reminded me of the woodchopper story because, like these hard working men, he seemed to focus too much on the execution of single cases, and too little on creating the tools that would enable him to scale case execution. Why have legal in-house departments come under such extreme pressure to increase their performance? On the surface, the demand to “do more with less” was the result of the Great Recession in 2007/08 and the increased financial strains on business enterprises.

When judges deliver a verdict, not everyone, least of all those convicted, will necessarily agree that justice has, indeed, been served. Justice is an idea, a cognitive construct; yet exactly as an unattainable ideal, justice remains indispensable for the legal system to operate and to ultimately decide what should be legal or illegal. Elusive and contested, justice represents the ultimate norm which is operationalized as law and which legitimizes individual rules. Justice is a never-ending process and no fixed state.
