Practical applications of legal technology in government legal
If you’re like most government legal professionals, you’re satisfied with your job and the tools you have to do it. But it could be better: A Thomson Reuters State of the Government Legal Department Report says that while their satisfaction is strong, over half of the respondents believe they spend too much time on admin tasks. Nearly half of them feel that those tasks diminish their time spent on their legal practice.
The angst these lawyers feel is fundamentally about efficiency — a seeming deficit in government legal offices. That’s coupled with a desire for improved efficiency from their “clients,” users of government legal services. As in many industries, when it comes to efficiency, technology is ready to help.
