We Set the Bar: Fighting for Equality, Empowerment and Change Within the Legal Profession

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781529221282

The Bar has a long-standing reputation for being the preserve of public-school educated, white men. Power and privilege can create abuses of power, from discrimination and disadvantage in entering the profession, to toxic work practices, sexual harassment, judicial bullying and more.

In her trademark outspoken style, Jo Delahunty K.C. reveals what life at the legal aid Bar involves and identifies what can be done to change its culture and image for the better, reshaping the traditional image of a barrister in terms of the diverse profession it should be.

By celebrating the highs, but not concealing the lows, of a life in law, Jo's love letter to her profession 'sets the bar' for action: what we can learn from the past and what needs to be done in future to galvanise it into a united, egalitarian, healthy environment for all.

Building the Data-Driven Law Firm - Branded Litera
<p>Like so many other professions, law is becoming increasingly influenced by an overwhelming amount of disparate, fragmented and complex data that can both help and hinder business. Data comes from a wealth of different sources, both internal and external, constantly changing, never still. Keeping control of all that data is one challenge&#x3b; leveraging it to the greater good much harder.</p><p></p><p>Despite the huge amount of data in the average law firm, data-driven decision-making is relatively new and uncharted. With the hugely disruptive changes that have occurred in our ways of working over the last two years, the issue of data is now front and centre.</p><p></p><p>This second edition of Building the Data-Driven Law Firm looks at how the use of data has become inextricably linked with the practice of law&#x3b; how it can be utilized to the good, and the safeguards that must be put in place to mitigate the bad&#x3b; how Big Data will revolutionize the way lawyers work, and the cases they will work on&#x3b; and how new uses for data (including blockchain and the Internet of Things) will influence the law firm of the future. Bringing the book bang up to date, new content features how we can keep data secure in the changing world of work, how data can be used for business development and client satisfaction, the implications of data bias and data theft, and whether the way we use data is even useful anymore.</p>
