Definitions for your law practiceLegal practice management consists of the activities a lawyer engages in to be able to meet clients' legal needs in an organized way. Law firm management is the part of legal practice management that deals with the management of an organization within which lawyers work. Production management involves establishing the systems, routines and procedures needed to help lawyers and support staff in their day-to-day efforts to meet the clients' needs...(via the provision of...correct, efficient and timely legal services). Financial management includes cash flow management, setting fees, billing and retainer policies, trust accounting, cost control, capital investment decisions, financing the law firm, monitoring financial information and planning (budgeting). Systems are the organizational structures and routines through which both individual lawyers and the law firm carry out the work of meeting client needs. One role of technology in the law office is to facilitate the implementation of systems. Communication is the practice management process whereby information is passed from one person to another within the law firm, between the law firm and its clients and between the law firm and the rest of the world. (As a leading vendor of software to attorneys throughout the United States and Canada, Abacus Data Systems is pleased to recognize the Law Society of Alberta as provider of these definitions.) 5 Reasons to Throw Away Your Old CalendarsThis Article compares old law calendaring methods to those available with legal calendaring software.
