BOL: Law Department Tech Underfunding

Some years ago when I was selling document management systems, I was surprised that - while law firms found funding for this tech investment to be worthy - my law department prospects didn't have funding for the same investment. Even though the requirements were exactly the same.

Roll forward by 15 years, and the story hasn't changed. This article discusses a recent EY survey disclosing that - as law department workloads continue to increase - investment in legal technology remains below par.

The article points out that one of the basics - contract management - is woefully absent - exposing companies to significant risks.

While many generals counsel have elevated the role of law department to trusted business partner and commensurate funding and resources, the survey exposes the fact that many law departments are still the red-headed cost-center stepchild..

BOL: Unconscious Bias Training This is an interesting article discussing the criticisms of 'Unconscious Bias Training', something that exists with all of us. My question: is this type of training used as a checkbox item.. when the real solution runs much deeper into cultural norms and power structures..
BOL: F2F Meetings The Mad Clientist reports on client interest in face to face meetings.
