: Legal Ethics ForumProfessional Protectionism from East to West
Take a look at this story out of Massachusetts. Some doctor groups there fought (unsuccessfully) to keep pharmacies from opening nurse-staffed in-store medical clinics, arguing that such clinics would jeopardize patient safety.
And now compare that story to this one in Hawaii, where the Bar is trying to ban non-lawyers from performing routine and minor law-related functions on the grounds that it could hurt clients' interests.
It's basically the same story, just in different states and involving different professions. But the bottom line is the same: professions protect their turf by citing consumer safety, even though there is little or no evidence of harm from nurse-staffed medical clinics or the provision of routine law-related services by non-lawyers.

State Road 9A- What You Need To Know
For the next several months, nothing will be the same on the 9A project that's underway. This $831 million project will be great when it's completed this fall, all part of the I-295 beltway around the city, but until then you might want to take notes, or at least check a variety of web sites if you are going to travel east or west on or off 9A anytime soon...
