Shop Local Lawyers

One last note from reading today's Watertown paper:

There's an ongoing lawsuit, filed by some anti-Walmart folks, using counsel from Syracuse. The town has moved for a change of venue, through their Syracuse-based counsel. Syracuse is roughly 2.5 hours (144 miles, according to Mapquest) from Potsdam. I understand the attraction of the larger law firms with their near-infinite resources, but I'm also saddened that people so worried about local economics (on both sides) are quick to rush out of town for legal services.
