Initial Postings:
Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then post what
you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s),
and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in
each assigned textbook chapter.Your initial post should be based upon
the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source
listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text.
Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in
your discussion.

Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

1. Lawyers
   are changing their pay structures. It used to be that they would bill
   hourly (top dollar for top lawyers, less experienced helpers had cheaper
   rates). Now they’re beginning to price like consultants—per project.
   Thus they must begin assessing the value-added to the client firm of the
   legal expertise and assistance. What advice would you give a law firm
   to proceed fairly and profitably?
2. Go
   online and compare three franchises (e.g., franchise.org,
   americasbestfranchises.com, or whichfranchise.com). Choose two
   franchises in the same industry (e.g., fast food) and the third
   franchise from another industry (e.g., hair cutting). Make a table to
   report the fee structures (upfront, continued licensing), as well as
   benefits touted for franchisees of each franchise system. What would
   tempt you to pitch in with some friends and buy a franchise when you
   finish your degree?
