Ernie the Attorney is a long time blogger and innovator in the law. We love Ernie for lots of reasons, one of which is his linked-in profile which states:
Darwin observed that "it is not the strongest of the species that
survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to
change." The legal system, long bound by tradition, now struggles to
adapt to increasing societal change. Today, lawyers can use technology
in novel ways to improve communication and increase efficiency in
gathering information. We need to be more adept at handling digital
information to fully represent our clients.
Clients increasingly need lawyers who look at things in fresh ways, who
seek hidden advantages, and who properly assess risk instead of
reflexively avoiding it. "Zealous representation," to me, is less about
swash-buckling and more about thoughtfulness and strategic planning.
