I don't have time for tech training. Maybe five minutes of an hour training class is useful. And by the time I get back to my desk, I'd forgotten what they'd showed me. Those handling technology training in legal settings, especially in law firms, have heard all of the above and more.
Many lawyers believe that tech training is, quite literally, a waste of time.
And time is money. Yet never has technology been more complicated, and more vital, to legal work. Without training, much of the technology's ability to relieve the drudgery and paperwork that consume billable hours and bury an intellectual question in a frantic paper chase is left unused. One would think that lawyers would know all about e-mail. It doesn't take long to learn how to use e-mail filters.
