Those interested in the question of the appropriate number of B-Law
courses for Accountancy students may be interested in an article on page
B8 of Monday April 17's Wall Street Journal. It describes how the Big 6
compete with law firms in the delivery of legal services overseas; in the
U.S., the separation of the practices of law and accounting is greater
than in many other places.
Regardless of our personal views toward non-lawyers giving legal
advice, shouldn't we prepare our accounting students for the significant
possibility clients and employers will expect them, someday, to give business
advice that, today, only lawyers provide?
