The Legal Professional's Challenge

Billable Hour Pressure

  • Every hour counts toward billing targets
  • Reading newsletters = non-billable time
  • Need to stay current, can't afford 2 hours daily
  • Pressure: bill 1,800-2,200 hours annually

Information Overload from Multiple Sources

  • Practice area newsletters (IP, M&A, Litigation, etc.)
  • Jurisdiction-specific updates
  • General legal news (Above the Law, Law360)
  • Bar association newsletters
  • Court rule changes
  • Total: 15-20 newsletters daily

Can't Miss Critical Updates

  • Circuit splits, new precedents
  • Regulatory changes affecting clients
  • Competitor firm moves
  • Malpractice risk if uninformed
  • Stakes are high - but time is limited
