CNNMoney reports that 12,000 lawyer jobs were outsourced to other countries, including India and South Korea.  Foreign law professionals are only paid $20 to $70 an hour, far below even the least expensive U.S. lawyers.

The article does note that American licensing requirements place an upper limit on how many of these jobs can be moved.
