- Abstract
- Over the last decade, law firms have dramatically increased the availability and usage of information technology in their offices. This paper seeks to explore the relationship between productivity and information technology within the legal community. Combining Consumer Population Survey data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics with several different surveys of law firms to provide evidence of information technology deployment, the paper seeks to understand why productivity does not seem to be increasing with the broadening usage of information technology in the legal profession and how the definition of productivity and attorney billing practices need to change in order to reflect a shifting paradigm.
