index_dewey This post is an updated special collection of legal case studies. All links are to materials available in this integrated Lightbulb blog and Dilanchian website.

 

Case studies have helped grow our business, perhaps they'll also help yours.

 

Legal case studies illustrate the practical application of law. We use them in our legal training workshops for  law firms and corporate legal departments.

 

For example they are used in our Profitable Business Contract Drafting workshop. It has been delivered in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth. After successful presentation in August 2007 in Kuala Lumpar and Singapore, they'll be re-run in those countries in 2008.

In the above two-car garage inventors Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs designed the Apple 1 computer.

We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees."
