Why Case Management Matters
I was at the Kentucky Academy of Trial Attorney's program on Technology: Learn How It Can Help You Be A Better Trial Lawyer. I gave a presentation on weblogs and what they mean for trial lawyers. Why you should write one, why you should read them and why they are changing the face of the internet.
I also listened to other great presentations at the program. I especially enjoyed Mike Burman from Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Mike gave a presentation on case management, a subject near and dear to my heart. Mike is using Needles and has it integrated with ecopy, a scanning networked copy machine. It looked like a slick operation.
In addition to what you can do with good case management, Mike talked about WHY you would want case management. Answer? It gives you more time to talk to your client. It allows you more time to think about the case. It allows you to be more organized and deal with problems before they occur.
Sounds good to me. I always say, it is important for the lawyer to manage his cases, or the cases manage him. Thanks for the input Mike.
