You forget that the trend is moving rapidly towards a lawyer for every
domain as a matter of daily business. New domains get added to the
client's intellectual property portfolio (which their lawyer looks
after). Anyone saying that the number of lawyers involved with domain
names will be reduced is grossly mistaken.
