NewLaw, Inc. is providing you with an analysis
tool for evaluating
legal assistant/paralegal readiness for dealing with the current electronic
discovery environment. Human resources staff and legal assistant managers
can use this tool as a point of discussion for interviewing applicants.
Legal assistants and paralegals can use it as a tool to plan future
professional development needs. Attorneys can use it as a source of
information regarding the type of tasks they can expect legal assistants and
paralegals to perform as the litigation practice evolves.
Legal assistants and paralegals find themselves faced with new challenges in
an emerging litigation environment where electronic tools and electronic
discovery prevail. Legal professionals often find themselves spending the
majority of their time performing document organization tasks. However, the
efficient use of technology could change their allocation of time to more
substantive analytical work which will add greater value to the case.
Technology solutions can minimize time spent bates numbering, copying,
summarizing, making lists, sorting paper, and filing documents when the
legal professionals using the technology have a good understanding of best
practices for using technology tools. This time can be replaced with tasks
such as issue determination, redacting privileged information, researching
the document population for hot content, preparing electronic folders with
notes for attorney review, cross referencing chains of related documents,
analyzing the chain of custody of electronic documents and more.
In the event that you or others on your team require assistance using this
tool, evaluating the technology instruction needs in your office, or
instructing current team members on any of the relevant processes, you can
