The goals & objectives of the sole practitioner or small firm setting up the ideal computerized legal practice are as follows: Unfortunately, the typical lawyer (i) does not have time and/or (ii) does not understand the technology to properly set up a functional system to assist them in their practice. As a result, lawyers are turning to the use of technology to help them manage their practice in the most cost-effective manner.Ĭonsidering the large expense involved in implementing a computerized law practice, lawyers must educate themselves on technology. In today's changing legal environment, more and more lawyers are setting up shop by themselves as sole practitioners or in a small practice group either as partners or in association.
Traditionally lawyers have been content to leave the issue of computers to someone else to handle, that person usually being a technology 'expert' who knows virtually nothing about the practice demands of a law firm.
