I must confess that, although the Attorney at Work website is one of my top resources, some posts there by Analog Attorney. Call it “digital bias” if you will. But sometimes the pieces seem to strain to do something the traditional way, even when digital methods are preferable. That is noted because I want to encourage you to read “ Run Your Practice More Mindfully on a Legal Pad ” from Attorney at Work.

I have had several epiphanies of late, and they reverberate back to almost everything I have been doing to drive innovation in the legal industry over the past many years. At its core, what I’ve realized is that I’ve been missing something fundamental about measuring value. The legal industry has struggled to put its arms around value. Implicit in this struggle is the idea that the data we have been collecting contains something of value to measure.
