9 Points to Tell Trainee Lawyers Concerning IT
1. Your emails and works no more only belong to you.
As a student you’ve probably used MS Word to jot down coursework and assignments and communicated via email and internet sites. As a private individual you’ve been able to set up your IT systems to suit yourself.
2. Determine if you feel dictation is an asset or not.
3. Making note of time
Sorry, but there is no way out of this; no escape clause, just do it and confirm yourself as hard working.
4.Pay no attention to geek speak
it’s not your fault should you don’t comprehend IT terminology. This does not reflect your level of intelligence.
5. See your projects in the context of the big picture
There are lots of stuff that go on in your firm apart from what you do. There are quality standards to get met in England and Wales. In England the standard is Lexcel, but this would differ all over the world..
6. IT is useless by itself, it is a tool to assist you in your business.
Whilst lecturing at the University of West England, I stumbled upon students that had never used IT before.
7. Always look for developments
I like to see problems being solved utilizing software which is mine. People use tools flexibly until they find the right solution.
8. Develop a proper skepticism of IT fashions
Be careful about the latest “must have” technology. A good example of this is artificial intelligence.
The big boys in IT create web based systems and try to create the impression that only their products are viable.
9. Get the best from your IT solution
If you are the sale person, you need to be interested in the consumer’s problem. Ensure the conversation flows between the 2 parties correctly. You’ll need to be able to find out how Case management software can solve the issue and give a good solution.
