    • A.

      A. its total income

    • B.

      B. the number of clients

    • C.

    • E.

      E. b and c only

    Correct Answer
    C. C. the number of attorneys
    Explanation
    The size of a law firm is typically measured by the number of attorneys it has. This is because the number of attorneys reflects the firm's capacity to handle legal matters and provide services to clients. A larger number of attorneys suggests a larger firm with more resources and expertise. While total income, number of clients, and number of branch offices may also be indicators of a firm's size, they do not directly measure the firm's legal capabilities and professional staff. Therefore, the most accurate measure of a law firm's size is the number of attorneys it employs.

This arrangement allows both parties to benefit, as the attorney can save on rent expenses while the law firm can receive legal assistance without incurring additional costs. Therefore, the statement is true.

  • 27. 

    Attracting clients is not a concern for a corporate legal department.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A corporate legal department typically does not need to actively attract clients because its primary function is to provide legal services to the corporation it is a part of. Unlike law firms or legal consultants, corporate legal departments do not operate as independent entities seeking clients. Instead, they serve as an in-house legal team dedicated to addressing the legal needs of the corporation, such as providing legal advice, handling contracts, and representing the company in legal matters. Therefore, attracting clients is not a concern for a corporate legal department.

    A freelance paralegal service typically works exclusively for attorneys. This is because paralegals provide legal assistance and support to attorneys, helping them with tasks such as research, document preparation, and case management. As a freelance paralegal, they are hired on a contract basis by attorneys to assist with their workload. Therefore, it is true that a freelance paralegal service works only for attorneys.
