Law Department Management: The six fundamental concepts to improve law departments

by Editors on November 21, 2007

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.
