Here’s the blurb
Data has become the world’s most valuable commodity. Yet, for as long as the legal profession has been around, lawyers have lacked the data necessary to making smart decisions about the future of their practice.
That’s what’s driving this report—the most comprehensive, in-depth analysis of the legal industry to date.

- What goals should firms set for their practice?
