WorldOne Research, LexisNexis Technology Gap Survey (2009) [PDF] - 0 views

  •  
    "A national survey of legal professionals found that while technology is widely embraced among attorneys, significant gaps exist among generations regarding its use and application in the workplace. The newly released Technology Gap Survey found generational differences in the effect of technology on workplace etiquette, the blurring boundaries between personal and professional tasks, and the impact of technology overload. The survey - commissioned by LexisNexis, a leading provider of content-enabled workflow solutions - examined the impact of technology in the legal workplace." (beSpacific)

Susskind predicts the end of lawyers (The New Lawyer, Apr 8, 2009) - 0 views

  • Susskind, the man who brought us 'The Future of Law', has kept his readers frothing at the mouth with the release of a new book 'The End of Lawyer? Rethinking the Nature of Legal Services'.
  • "What we're seeing courtesy of this dreadful economy is an acceleration of what many of us have anticipated in legal services. And that is the introduction of all manner of efficiencies, largely due to the impact of information technology."
  • And his take on social networking has appealed to his legal blogging elite. "I believe that some version of social networking will come to dominate the way professional services are delivered and will transform legal services," he said.

  • much of the work that used to be distributed to law firms in a conventional way will be displaces by a community-based sharing of legal experience. This will be disruptive to the legal profession beyond our imagination."
  •  
    Chicago lawyers have been rigorously twittering and blogging about the recent keynote address delivered by Richard Susskind, the legal technology consultant, adviser and author, at last week's American Bar Association Techshow. There will be an "unimaginable, explosive growth and development in the power of technology", Susskind said, warning of a renewed zeitgeist around social networking."

Has the Age of the Legal Knowledgebase Finally Arrived? - Software - Technologist - 0 views

  • "Knowledge differentiates a law firm from its competitors," according to Gretta Rusanow of Curve Consulting, an attorney and knowledge management expert.
  • Knowledge Management specialists within firms work hard to set up and maintain KM technology, but without grassroots adoption, many KM initiatives languish from lack of use.  Placing the emphasis on technology, rather than user behavior, tends to distract from the real barrier to adoption: Attorneys and staff simply don't see enough individual value to take time away from urgent (and billable) day-to-day activities to complete additional tasks required by a separate knowledge management tool.
  • "Too often KM becomes a conversation about technology . . . if you want to converse with lawyers about value, talk about value instead of technology," said Toby Brown of Fulbright & Jaworski. "This focuses the dialogue on the benefits to the lawyers and not on the cost of any technology involved. Solve the problem, instead of offering technology."

  • Now, however, a new generation of legal knowledgebase tools based on Web 2.0 technology (including PBworks Legal Edition, which has users at 24 of the top 25 firms on the AmLaw 100) is solving the usability issues and integrating the knowledgebase into the everyday work of a firm.
  • "At a time when clients are likely to challenge every item of charge, having efficient systems in place for producing work becomes vital," writes Karen Battersby of Nottingham Law School. "The transfer of knowledge from individual lawyers to teams of lawyers is also essential in a climate where lawyer redundancies are increasing and departments need to operate with leaner resources."
  • The first key is to make the legal knowledgebase easy to use. 
  • The second key to successful legal knowledgebases lies in searchability.
  • The final, and perhaps most important key to the success of Web 2.0 knowledgebases lies in their ability to integrate with the daily work of lawyering. 
  • "I can't emphasize this enough: making lawyers enter information multiple times is a recipe for failure," said Dennis Kennedy of Thompson Coburn. "Lawyers have proven that they will not change the way that they work.
  • While firms must restrict access to authorized users, they must simultaneously provide authorized users with access to information via different technology.  As more lawyers turn to smart phones and PDA, products must also include mobile access to the knowledgebase (including files) via Blackberry and iPhone to fully integrate with the way most attorneys actually work.
  •  
    In this post, guest author Jim Groff of PBWorks describes the benefits of knowledge management systems for law firms, as well as the difficulties some firms have had in convincing their attorneys and staff to adopt knowledge management solutions. Groff argues that Web 2.0 technologies can increase the adoption of knowledge management systems, and thus the benefit to law firms, by integrating the systems with attorneys' everyday experiences.

Legal Software Company Aderant Announces Next Generation of Business Intelligence for L... - 0 views

  • The 2015 ILTA Technology Industry Survey reported that 51% of law firms have invested in business intelligence, putting the legal industry ahead of the general business community.
  • Based on interviews and usability sessions with over 100 law firms, Aderant developed an entirely new user interface based on easy-to-use configurable screen tiles. Aderant Product Manager Derek Schutz commented, “Our design goal was to enable anyone at the firm to use BI. In the past, only a few highly technical individuals within the firm could use BI tools. Spotlight enables non-technical staff to use and leverage the power of business intelligence technology.”
  • That ease enables wider staff adoption of BI, but it’s Spotlight’s Impact Technology that will drive law firm managers’ desire to use business intelligence. Spotlight Analytics shines a light on specific business performance issues and with just a click of the Impact Technology button, Spotlight links into the Aderant Expert module for the user to take immediate corrective action.
