Martindale-Hubbell |
|
Martindale Hubbell initiated a fee to attorneys for address listing
inclusion and a separate fee for for ratings inclusion. If an
attorney declined payment, address and ratings are no longer
searchable effective 1/2008. Many attorneys & small firms
declined the bean counter costs - usefulness of MH database
deteriorated. |

As an aside note, the
"Bar" is not the local tavern. The bar is a dividing
railing in the courtroom which separates the general public from the litigant's tables,
podium, jury box, witness chair, clerk's and court reporter's stations
and judge's bench. The tavern image is more
colorful, but it's a myth, just as are TV images of Perry Mason / Paul Drake
surprise discovery or hovering over and intimidating / badgering
witnesses.
