Law Firms and IT
– Towards Optimal
Knowledge Management
Martin Apistola & Arno R. Lodder
Abstract
Based on existing literature and empirical
research, partly carried out by us in 2004 and 2005, we propose in this
paper a
preliminary framework that is meant to be used for knowledge management
of in
particular individual lawyers within a law firm. The underlying idea is
to
combine in our framework general taxonomies of the three core elements
of
knowledge management within today’s law firms, viz. knowledge,
knowledge
processes and Information Technology (IT). The present framework sets
out in
main lines what we believe would be helpful for lawyers to clarify
their needs
regarding Information Technology and to evaluate the actual use of IT.
