Description

The Lawyer's Guide to Working Smarter with Knowledge Tools 2nd Edition Marc Lauritsen ISBN 9781641058346

This groundbreaking guide introduces lawyers and other professionals to a powerful category of software designed to enhance core aspects of legal work. The author explores how tools such as practice management systems, work product retrieval, document assembly, and interactive checklists empower professionals to work more efficiently and effectively. Almost every practitioner can improve their workflow—and software makes that possible.

The book provides practical guidance to help you identify the technologies best suited to your practice and specific needs. It offers a clear roadmap for leveraging software tools to perform legal work—not only for lawyers but also for other professionals in traditional law firms, corporate environments, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.

Using the term “knowledge tools,” author Marc Lauritsen refers to software that goes beyond mere storage or data transfer. These tools actively apply and process knowledge to improve legal work. The book explores a range of such tools, including:

  • Case and matter management systems

  • Work product retrieval

  • Document assembly

  • Interactive questionnaires

  • Intelligent checklists

  • Expert systems

  • Decision support tools

As Lauritsen notes, “Few lawyers are even making optimal use of software that came out a decade ago. We owe it to ourselves and to our clients to do better. By working smarter, you can achieve tangible benefits: more time, greater impact, and deeper professional satisfaction. Knowledge tools are increasingly central to these advantages, and my goal is to help you seize them.”
