BENEFITS OF THE ACTIVE MIND

Leonardo da Vinci once said that “learning never exhausts the mind.” That quote has been like a beacon my entire life. I’ve always thought that one could learn something from almost any experience.

PUZZLES

Puzzles are excellent learning tools. They teach us the importance of details, improve mental speed, and help hone problem solving and critical thinking skills. It’s no wonder that eDiscovery professionals are viewed as "puzzle people".

TRANSLATION?

I have often referred to working in Lit Support as being a translator: translating techy to lawyer and vice versa. This skill is invaluable in the space and sometimes underrated until it is experienced or witnessed.

WHERE I'M FROM

When crafting this post, I was considering a number of different topics that are relevant to legal operations professionals. From eDiscovery to contract management to aligning value for allocation of resources, I thought about all the current projects we're working on with our clients and how I could tie that all together. Makes sense, right?

THINK LIKE A LAWYER

When I was 21-years-old, starting law school and rather naïve, my goals were simple: graduate law school, pass the bar, get a job and practice law well. After several years out of law school (ahem), I now see there was a 5th, more important, goal that I did not realize as a new law student: think like a lawyer.

DEFINITION OF TEAM

I was told weeks ago that this is the date you will be posted. And of course, I froze, I suddenly had nothing to say, nothing to talk or write about. It felt like all of this pressure to have the perfect topic, to write down some great wisdom, and give you all some top-notch tips and tricks.

WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER

Many of us aspire to this seeming utopia where machines do the most painfully boring parts of our job, while we do only what brings the most glory, accolades, and excitement.
