Lawyers as a profession are pretty bad about using data, but it is extremely powerful. Clio recognizes this fact and creates the Legal Trends Report each year to highlight trends in the profession. This year's report had some interesting insights, some of which confirm what lawyers already believe and some which challenge our beliefs. The report's chief architect, George Psiharis, visited with Megan at Clio Con 2019 to talk about it.
