IF his record is any guide, those who fail to take Jim Spigelman's predictions seriously are heading for trouble.
The NSW Chief Justice has an uncanny knack of making sure he is always on the right side of history.
He was the first to blow the whistle on the feeding frenzy that used to characterise personal injury litigation. Tort reform followed.
Spigelman also got it right seven years ago when he exposed the moral hazard of billable hours. Smart law firms of all sizes are now including fixed fees and other alternative billing schemes in their pitch to clients.
Spigelman's endorsement this week of the outsourcing of legal work to low-cost jurisdictions is also clearly on the money.
