In Australia and New Zealand , a law broker is a professional that assists individuals who are searching for a lawyer . A law broker will analyze an individual s case or legal issue and provide a customized referral to an appropriate lawyer. Some common factors that a law broker will consider are a lawyer s experience level, success rate, reputation, and quality of service. A law broker will often review legal publications, court decision s, and rely upon a network of legal contacts to provide an objective, customized referral to a client. The person who coined the term law broker was an Australian solicitor Dr. Yuri Rapoport. He started the world s first law broking firm Prime Law Brokers in 1996, which paved the way for the development of the private sector legal referral industry in Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom. Fees In most circumstances, a law broker does not charge a fee to a client but rather obtains a referral fee from the lawyer. In other countries In North America , an equivalent service is provided by lawyer referral programs, which are usually operated by bar association s.

lowercase An i broker is a banker for data or ISP for identity services a trusted third party that helps individuals and organizations share private data the same way banks help exchange funds and ISPs help exchange e mail and files. The term was introduced in the Social Web paper describing how a new layer of Internet infrastructure is possible based on the OASIS organization OASIS XRI and XDI specifications. However the concept of an i broker is not specific to any one technology or protocol, but rather a business and social function, similar to that of a bank or an ISP. Just as banks offer a wide range of financial services associated with an account, and ISPs a wide range of Internet services, i brokers will offer a wide range of identity and data sharing applications. As with e mail and web hosting, some i brokers will specialize in services for personal account holders, some will concentrate on the business and government market, and some will be full service brokers handling all types of accounts. In all cases, the sensitivity of the data involved will demand of i brokers the same high standards of accountability and trust demanded in the global banking system. Unlike the banking system, however, it is unlikely i brokers will be highly regulated. Instead good behavior is more likely to be enforced by online reputation systems . Just as people use different banking and brokerage accounts for different financial services, they are likely to use multiple i brokers for sharing different sets of data personal, financial, medical, vocational, etc. . However with data sharing technology such as XDI link contracts , an account holder can choose to link all of their i broker accounts, or selected accounts, or none at all the same way a web site author determines which pages ...
