Wouldn't it be cool if a law school and a business school could collaborate on issues of legal analytics, entrepreneurial opportunities in the law, and collaboration between the university and the local business and law firm industries? We talk with a couple of professors at Georgia Statue University (GSU) who are turning this 'cool idea' and making it a reality. Anne Tucker, Professor of Law, Legal Analytics & Innovation Initiative, and Ben Chapman, Executive Director, Legal Analytics and Innovation Initiative join us to discuss the details behind The Institute for Insight at GSU. The Institute brings together professors from different backgrounds of Engineering, Computer Science, and Statistics and with this type of cross-pollination with business and law, the professors are looking at applied analytics questions and bringing in their own unique skill sets to understand and solve these issues. This mashup of law, business, data science, risk management, statistics and more isn't a purely academic endeavor for the Institute. Following in the tradition of GSU being an urban school, the Institute works with well known players in the Atlanta business and legal community to put the ideas into real-world situations. This gives the Institute's professors and students the opportunity to work side-by-side with the business and legal leaders to help identify, study, analyze, and potentially solve issues facing the business and legal industry. This is one of the many values which Tucker and Chapman see for not just preparing students for the practice of law, but also for the business of law.

Competitive Intelligence guru, Kevin Miles from Norton Rose Fulbright gives us some nice checklists on different CI topics along with some templates designed in MS Word to help start you on the CI path at your law firm. The Financial Times came out with a 15 article report on the legal industry ranging from top legal business technologists, to the Big-Four's advancement in the legal industry, to both the promise, and the overwhelming nature of understanding legal tech processes. We hope that Google still follows the "Don't Be Evil" rule because they are now touting success in the Quantum Computing area. Google recently announce that its new Quantum Computer can computerate complex data in less than 3 minutes what it would take current supercomputers 10,000 years to do. We guess it's not a good or bad thing, but the future is definitely upon us.

What are the skills that the legal industry needs to develop and integrate in an era of rapid technological and business model transformation? In a new podcast, Mark Cohen, CEO of Legal Mosaic, a legal business consultancy; and Daniel Rodriguez, the Harold Washington Professor at Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law, discussed this issue at length. With one representative from the academia and one more focused on the business side of law, Rodriguez and Cohen somehow manage to find common ground on the need to transform the legal workforce to accommodate the many new skill sets that are required today. The pair agreed that legal education needs to move beyond just training in legal doctrine and needs to expand to include skills related to the business side of legal practice (including the application of technology) and personal effectiveness skills such as emotional intelligence, entrepreneurial mindset, and communication. While there was agreement that those skills represent the new, broader skill set that today’s industry requires, there’s still room for discussion about how those skills are delivered, including the role of law schools and the need for lifetime learning in a rapidly changing industry. The approach of Rodriguez and Cohen has much in common with the new Delta Lawyer Competency Model, which was recently published by the Legal Executive Institute and authored by Natalie Runyon, Director of Enterprise Content Thomson Reuters Legal Executive Institute; and Alyson Carrel, Clinical Associate Professor of Law and Assistant Director for the Center on Negotiation and Mediation at Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law (with input from many partners across the industry).

The Business of Law with Mark Cohen of Legal Mosaic and Elevate Legal Services In Episode 94 we talk with Mark Cohen, former civil trial lawyer, big law Partner, national litigation boutique firm founder, and insurance industry outside general counsel. An early mover on Legal Tech and Legal process outsourcing, today Mark is the CEO of Legal Mosaic and Chair of the Advisory Board and Chief Strategy Officer at Elevate Legal Services. Mark Cohen Bio Mark attributes his success as a lawyer and businessperson to being relentless, authentic, persuasive, and relating to people as people – telling stories and relying on complex, factual legal matters in a way that people can understand and resonate with.  Noting that in today’s legal environment sophisticated legal buyers look seriously at data related to outcomes and efficiency as criteria for selection and for continued use of a lawyer or firm. That the change in the industry is not being driven by the proactive conduct of law firms but rather the insistence on the part of legal consumers for change. Our discussion focused on the difference between legal practice and the delivery of legal services. That there’s a change occurring with a reduction in activities attributed in the practice of law and needing to be performed by lawyers; and an increase in the services attributed to and performed by non-lawyer legal professionals and the technology tools available to them.  This change is requiring law firms to either have an increased understanding of the business of law internally or to be partnering with firms that specialize in the delivery side of the law. Within the traditional legal culture, lawyers are trained to ‘leave no stone unturned’ vs. to understand the client’s objectives and the value of the overall result of the matter. In the business world, everything has a value and sometimes good is plenty good enough.    Until relatively recently, lawyers decided what activities were legal tasks and which weren’t and how much time to allocate to each. Today clients make those decisions and distinctions.  This collision of traditional legal culture with the current business culture highlights the need for lawyers to align their efforts with the interests of their clients.  These updated work practices including outcomes-based agreements require mutual trust and a commitment from both parties for a positive and effective outcome. We end our interview with Mark sharing his enthusiastic and optimistic view of the future of the profession. That it’s a terrific time to be going into the legal industry, whether you’re a lawyer, businessperson, technologist or entrepreneur.   That the many positive developments as a result of change are leading to the emergence of a global legal community and the opportunity solve some of laws problems. The stagnant, insular and non-diverse; legal culture is beginning to change; that there are limitless possibilities in the legal industry for people who are informed and qualified.

First a little background on Mark Cohen's journey before digging in to how he used writing and social media to develop a thought leadership platform. Mark was a trial lawyer for almost 30 years. He started out as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, became a big law partner, then left to start a national boutique firm where he learned how technology could be used more effectively to manage legal services, After a conversation with Thomas L. Friedman, author of the book, The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century, about whether some what what was in the book would apply to the legal vertical, Mark started Clearspire, a virtual law firm and legal services company that upended the traditional law firm business model, to provide services to clients that wanted it delivered better, faster, cheaper. After closing shop, Mark founded Legal Mosaic, which is where this thought leadership story built around writing and social media, starts: Mark shares some of the lessons he learned along the way: - Mark discovered that Twitter allows you to connect with other like minded people and participate in a global community in a way that’s very helpful for one’s career. - It's all about finding a voice and getting it out there. - It’s important to be patient. One does not create a social media presence and brand overnight. It takes time and thoughtfulness and effort. - Social media is a two-way street. It’s not all about you. You have to participate in the community. Find who has interesting ideas and engage with them and promote them. It becomes reciprocal though not the intention going in. - You don’t need a tremendous amount of content to develop a brand or thought leadership platform. You can become a thoughtful aggregator by summarizing some of the greatest hits articles and giving it a spin of your own with some interesting commentary. - You have to be authentic in what you message is and how you’re getting it across. Don’t put on airs. - Stick with it. Social media is a long-term play. And, some of the results: -Mark's development of a thought leadership platform led to being a columnist on Forbes, publishing a popular blog, and speaking opportunities around the world. - What’s gratifying is not the numbers - followers and likes and connections - but the dialog that the content has generated.

Mark Cohen, the CEO of Legal Mosaic, is a Distinguished Lecturer in Law at Georgetown Law School and writes a weekly column on the global legal marketplace for Forbes. Mark recently wrote a piece for Forbes titled, “A British Reboot of Legal Education-- Law School Optional.” Julie Brannan is the director of education and training for the Solicitors Regulation Authority better known as the SRA out of the U.K. She joined the SRA in October 2013, and since then has been leading the Training for Tomorrow review of legal education and training.
