  • Download Case Study
    INTERACTION® CASE STUDY FROST BROWN TODD LLC InterAction improves firm’s data quality, reduces bounce rate from 40% to 7% in just four months CLEAN DATA - THE KEY TO MARKETING SUCCESS Managing contact information and corresponding data accurately is a must when it comes to supporting successful marketing operations. That imperative was reinforced recently at the Midwestern law firm, Frost Brown Todd LLC. With more than 500 attorneys in 12 offices located in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia, Frost Brown Todd serves some of America’s top corporations and emerging companies. Maintaining strong relationships with its extensive list of clients and prospective clients has been a hallmark of the firm’s success for more than a century. In addition to providing clients with the unparalleled services that have earned Frost Brown Todd national ranking in nearly two dozen practice areas, a similarly important key to nurturing client relationships is effective communications. To that end, the firm places considerable emphasis on marketing efforts directed to its extensive contact lists. DIRTY DATA – THE KEY TO INEFFICIENT MARKETING Much of Frost Brown Todd’s legacy contact data became duplicated, outdated, and inaccurate over a long period of time. This led to a host of issues, including a 40% email bounce rate, and a significant time drain on attorneys and staff as they had to repeatedly manually recreate marketing lists for firm- sponsored events. This only added to the duplication in the underlying data. NEW LIFE FOR CRM The firm decided to revive InterAction by investing in experienced consultants, by hiring a full-time customer relationship management (CRM) administrator, and by deploying full-time data stewards.

  • Constance Baker Motley
    THE HONORABLE CONSTANCE BAKER MOTLEY The Honorable Constance Baker Motley is an extraordinary person, and one of the noteworthy and surprising facts about her is how little has been written about her life and work. If, after this presentation, you are interested in learning more about her, you might read her autobiography, Equal Justice Under Law,1 and you might watch a videotape of a 1988 interview of her conducted by Alfred Aman, Professor and former dean at the Indiana University School of Law at Bloomington.2 Our library can secure the videotape for you through interlibrary loan. The bibliography lists other materials relevant to her life and work. Here are several striking facts about Constance Baker Motley, any one of which would make her worthy of serious study. She was the fifth woman, and the first Black woman, appointed to the federal bench.3 She served for almost twenty years, from 1946 to 1964, as staff attorney with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., and was part of the "inner circle" responsible for Brown v. Board of Education, a case that many consider to be the most important of the twentieth century.4 She represented James Meredith in his successful attempt to integrate the University of Mississippi, integration that was accomplished only with the 1Constance Baker Motley, Equal Justice Under the Law (1998). 2An interview with Judge Constance Baker Motley conducted by Alfred C.
