Law and Software for Domain Experts

How could lawyers use a ‘Software for Domain Experts’ type service?

Lawyers have to search through large amounts of information to find something useful (such as how the last case like theirs went). They need to make difficult decisions. They need to publish and disseminate reports.

For structured legal processes (like conveyancing) they might have to go through a standard list of steps, of which documents or approvals are requested from who, when.

A quick search of UK law software firms shows that there are several companies offering software for ‘practise management’ (which we take to mean all aspects of a legal practise, including cases, accounting).

There are other tools to help manage performance.

Some of them run on the cloud, some on your desktop computer.
