My law firm speculation is above is just that – speculation. If a firm has tons of work, they would probably gain revenue by being more productive. Who knows, in reality?

And I like your post. Though I have to say you gave me an idea I hadn’t thought of: You mentioned profession-specific contexts (a great idea), where I talked about profession-specific trigger lists.

Cheers!

I think an interesting post for you to do is how to incorporate legal productivity into a hipster PDA.
