Field Notes

Field Notes

Observations on legal work, case management, information drift, billing, client communication, and the systems law offices use to keep matters moving.

Information systems

Case management is not data storage

A firm can have every document saved and still not know what is happening. Storage preserves materials. It does not preserve the working memory of a case.

Practice observations

The hidden cost of reconstructing the file

Small firms do not lose cases all at once. They lose time reconstructing what already happened — hunting through inboxes, folders, and memory for information that already exists.

Information systems

The firm as institutional memory

A law firm is not only a collection of lawyers, staff, clients, and files. It is a memory system — and when a matter does not retain its own history, the firm depends on whoever happens to remember.
