What Is Law New?
As the legal industry evolves, it’s important that lawyers understand new approaches that can help them deliver on their clients’ expectations. Law new is one such approach and it’s a concept that all firms should take the time to explore for their own benefit.
While the concept is difficult to pin down, it usually means providing legal services in different ways. This can include working with underserved communities, embracing technology and using non-traditional fee structures. The idea is to help clients in a more holistic manner and not just offer traditional advice on a single issue.
A law new practice is not for everyone but those who are open to new ideas and strategies will find that this type of practice can be extremely beneficial to their career. The concept is a way to deliver the legal services that many clients need without impacting other areas of the firm’s business that may be the primary focus of their work.
The legislative process begins with a new policy idea. This can come from a senator or a member of the House, a constituent or an interest group. The policy is drafted into a bill that is presented to Congress for consideration. The bills are then debated and voted on. If passed, the bills become statutes or laws.
Once the legislation has been passed, it is sent to the Governor. He or she has 10 days to sign the bills into law or veto them. If the Governor signs a bill, it becomes law; if the Governor vetoes a bill, it is returned to the legislative chamber that passed it for an override vote. If the override vote is successful, the bill becomes law.
