Managing a Law Practice: What You Need to Learn in Law School Gary A. Munneke* I. Introduction Every lawyer must be an effective manager in order to become and remain competent. This simple, but fundamental truth has implications not only for the practice of law, but for the process of legal education as well. In an era of intense competition, lawyers must demonstrate competence in order to succeed, but the acquisition of competence is not always easy to attain. This is because the integral role of practice management as a key element of competence has not been fully appreciated by educators or the practicing bar. In 1991, however, the American Bar Association Task Force on Law Schools and the Profession: Bridging the Gap (popularly known as the MacCrate Task Force) articulated a statement of fundamental lawyering skills and values.1 The MacCrate Task Force Report (“MacCrate Report”) identified “Organization and Management of Legal Work” among those fundamental skills.2 The report also described the acquisition of professional skills and values as a learning continuum that begins long before law school and extends throughout a lawyer’s 3 professional life.

  • Looking for a Legal Software Solution? Here Are 4 Options
    October 28, 2020 - Jennifer Faivre Looking for a Legal Software Solution? Here Are 4 Options It’s been two years since I last wrote about legal software solutions. Since then, I’ve learned about some new options that are worth a look. My latest list includes practice management, case management and customer relationship management systems. These involve: ● Practice management solutions — These handle the entirety of the firm’s business functions, including accounting, reporting and marketing. ● Case management systems — These focus on the firm’s internal needs regarding the processing and storing of case and client data. ● Customer relationship management (CRM) software — This technology helps you Jennifer Faivre manage your business relationships effectively and assists with the logistics of handling CRM & Rankings Research your prospect and client relationships (including automated contact management and 970.596.0259 progress tracking), allowing you to manage leads and extract data to help you analyze [email protected] relationships, your sales pipeline, and your success rate with leads and clients. Regardless of the type of system you are looking for, you’ll want to do your homework and follow best practices to ensure you get the right system. This entails defining your needs and goals, taking the time to do research, and then demoing a short list of products. These offerings are just a small representation of the overall marketplace. Jaffe has no conflicts of interest with any of these companies. Note, too, that the list below was compiled after we looked at product websites, multiple product reviews and user reviews. The product specifications here are the most up to date to our knowledge, but keep in mind that developers are constantly updating their products.
