The Institute for Lawyers
Independent analysis of legal technology and practice economics.
We are practitioners building the resource we wish we had. Legal tech marketing is filled with hyperbole and 'AI washing'. We cut through the noise with concrete testing and economic analysis. The profession needs vendor-agnostic truth, not another sales pitch.

Implementation Pitfalls
