In the old days lawyers had offices full of books. State Court Reports. Form Manuals. Digests of the Law...with periodic pocket parts for updating...
Everything was Hard Copy... Today its all on-line and digital.
An Entire Law Library from the 1980's could fit on a thumb drive...!
Updating is Real Time...Not by periodic pocket parts.
Computers have replaced the Word Processor which replaced the IBM Selectric Typewriter.
Papers are Emailed to clients and courts by PDF format. It would be possible to do an entire case without having anything printed out in the office or at the court...
Its all different now... Yet the actual day to day practice of law has not changed much...
And perhaps that is what needs to change...?
Stay Tuned...
