Final Report Information

ORDER FORM

The Perfect Practice - Legal Technology Institute Case, Matter, and Practice Management System Final Report will be published in 1st Quarter 2010. The Report is expected to be approximately 250 - 300 pages and packed with information regarding the use of these systems in the legal profession. We examine questions based on different demographics, including firm size, type of practice, and various other parameters. For example we ask the following types of questions:

  • Yes/No questions
  • Single answer questions (“Select one only”)
  • Multiple Choice questions (“Select all that apply”)
  • “Comfort” type questions (“On a scale of 1 to 5")
  • “Ranking” type questions (“Mark 1 for the most important, 2 for the next most important”

The following links to PDFs provide examples of how the Report is designed. Note that these examples are from a previous Study conducted several years ago regarding the use of Application Service Providers in the legal profession.

  • Question #16 was an “On a scale from 1 to 5” type question. We looked at it from“Total Responses” (p 36), by “Gender” (p37), by “Type of Practice” (p38), and by“Firm Size” (p39).

  • Question #18 was a “Select all that apply” type question. We looked at it from “Total Responses” (p43), by “Type of Practice” (p44), and by “Firm Size” (p45).

  • Question #20 was a “Yes/No” type question. We looked at it from “Total Responses” (p49), “Type of Practice” (p50), and by “Firm Size” (p51).

  • Question #23 was a “Select all that apply” type question. We looked at it from “Total Responses” (p59) [note that we also reordered the responses on p60], by “Type of Practice” (p62), by “Firm Size” (p64), and by those firms who reported using ASP (from Question #20) and those firms who reported NOT using an ASP (also from Question #20).

  • Question #29 was a “Ranking” type question.

  • Question #34 was a “Select one only” type question.

Note that for all questions, we report the number of respondents that answered the question; we feel it important to know that if only 3 people answered a particular question a certain way that the report reader know that, as opposed to “33% of the legal profession reported...”
