ABA wants to know your views on document review offshoring

Take a minute or two to fill out a brief survey and tell the American Bar Association exactly how you feel about offshoring American legal work to lower-paid workers in other countries. I covered the topic here at the end of September:
On the one hand it's accrediting new law schools left and right, generating literally thousands of new law grads every year that weren't flooding the marketplace just 5 and 10 years ago. Yay! More lawyers, more lawyering work, more big fees, and more big profits! Right? Well, wrong -- when the work that new law grads tend to do, namely, low-level document review, is now being outsourced, with the shiny stamp of ABA approval.
