In the daily operations of a modern law firm, technology is the main interface for almost every activity – from online research to client relations to document management. However, a significant perspective that’s often missed is the one from associates using these technological tools daily. They are the ones faced with the realities of the products, having to navigate their merits and failings every day in the pursuit of their professional duties.
A recent survey offers a chance to hear from the associates themselves, asking them some straightforward questions. One of the most prominent questions is: “What is the one tool in this category you hate but are forced to use?”
This survey is not about pleasantries – associates are encouraged to voice out what they hate, a motivation that often results in more candid responses.
The purpose of this survey by Modernize.legal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of legal tech opinions from multiple angles – from associates to law firm leaders, tech purchasers within the firms, and the tech providers themselves.
Associates’ perspectives on the available training and tools, along with their feelings about the impact of AI on their careers and the legal tech products they love to hate, are all subjects of interest.
Your opinion matters – if there are tools that you adore or detest, this is your chance to have your say. Associates are enthusiastically encouraged to participate in the survey accessible at this link.
Further details regarding the survey’s intent and procedure can be found in the full article written by Senior Editor Joe Patrice at Above the Law.
