Is it okay for a lawyer to text with clients? This question is one that keeps coming up. The short answer is yes; but just because you can do something, doesn’t mean it’s always a good idea. I say this because texting is ubiquitous in our culture. Instead of taking the time to compose an email or pick up a phone, it takes far less time to send a quick text at any time of the day or night regardless of the setting.

As a long-time mentor, I have had the privilege of mentoring hundreds of mentees. Some of these mentor relationships lasted only for a single 30-minute “pick-your-brain” session, while others have been as needed over the trajectory of the lawyers’ careers. Upon reflection, I’d be lying if I didn’t have a few mentoring relationships that rise above others.

CLM tools have always strived to push contract management into the digital age for almost 30 years. But the complexities of digitising a legal document are numerous. The current scenarios in business development have shown that having a fully automated CLM has become a mandate for every law firm and in-house legal department. To determine if you need a CLM system, it's essential to clearly identify the on-ground business challenges you aim to solve.

Most public combats between criminal justice reformers and law-and-order conservatives are as stylized as Kabuki theater. The champion of law-and-order enters, stage-right, and demands more aggressive enforcement, brandishing a hair-raising news story that stars the latest incarnation of Willie Horton. A reformer steps toward the footlights, deprecates “mere anecdotes,” and unleashes “data-driven” or “evidence-based” findings to argue for de-incarceration or eliminating money bail.
