Prime It:
Your Duty to
Expedite Litigation
Now that we have all caught our breath after the July sale – and every other retailer’s version of Prime Day – consider your duty to expedite your legal services (while Amazon expedites your shipping).
Like Google, “Prime” has now achieved the enviable syntactic conversion to a verb, as in, “Can you Prime it?” Nowadays, if the shipping time for your online order is longer than two days, it might as well be a lifetime. Yet, attorneys must also expedite delivery of their services. Specifically, Rule 3.2 of the ABA Model Rules requires lawyers to make reasonable efforts to expedite litigation consistent with the interests of the client.
