Typical lawyers.
Sharks. With honourable exceptions, but big firms like this seem to be the thrashing, biting monster of nightmare.
One of the world's biggest law firms is suing a small Chicago-based website for naming the firm and linking to two of its associates' biographies. A judge rejected an attempt to have the case thrown out last week. Jones Day, a firm with more than 2,200 lawyers, argues that BlockShopper.com is giving a false impression that the …
