Rees Morrison, law department expert and publisher of the excellent Law Department Management blawg, lists six concepts that can help improve your law department:

The set of concepts that law department managers can apply to improve their operations is actually quite small. I count a half dozen of them.

1. You can streamline a process (See my post of May 28, 2007 on five aspects of processes; and May 28, 2007 on Six Sigma.).

2. You can standardize practices (See my posts of Nov. 3, 2005 about standardizing outside counsel practices; Feb. 21, 2007 about standardized bill formats; but see my post of April 17, 2007 that debunks standardization of legal work).

Head over to the Law Department Management Blog to read the other four concepts - and don’t forget to sign up for Rees’ blawg.
