When I say we need #modernlawyering I'm talking about #SCALE challenges 🗨️ @smuckwell says #corporatelegal must expand production capacity 5 to 10x in the next decade 😰 when I hear that I'm not worried about law depts or law firms 🌎 I worry about a world with bad lawyering

Empathy is critical. We should not only recognize in-house lawyers are burned out but also understand why, including the forces ensuring this situation will continue to get worse. Special thanks to @jaesunum and @smuckwell from whom I steal so liberally
Complexity. Complicatedness. The Principle of Least Effort. The Law of the Instrument. Path Dependence. Hyperbolic Discounting... All the fun nerdery I removed from last post to make it readable. https://t.co/EKXI1KN3lF

@Legal_Ev @smuckwell "... if we fail to evolve and adapt in ways that build upon industrialization principles that serve our humanity, our collective future is bleak. We can do better...." @smuckwell lays it out. https://t.co/L3Ze233jYV Many parallels in legal education.

Every company that creates value from information will need a data strategy. That strategy will need an approach that produces high-quality data from human-computer interactions because humans reflect the greatest intelligence in the system. @smuckwell

Both chilling and inspiring, @smuckwell makes the compelling case that true transformation (not just incremental improvement) actually requires true transformation, much of which is antithetical to our traditional strengths as lawyers. MUST READ

What if I told you improving productivity from 1 contract per hour (“cph”) to 2 cph (2x, +1 cph) saves more time than improving from 2 cph to 50 cph (25x, +48 cph)? With guest stars: @ktdumont @smuckwell @BruceMacEwen @AlexHamiltonRad @robsaccone

If you are trying to address adaptive challenges this will give you ways to think about them and get started. And he is giving it away for free, which is weird, because it's valuable. 🤷🏽♂️
