Skills in Clio Work an example of how knowledge integrates across a law firm

Well done Clio. The launch of skills in Clio Work is a real example of knowledge integration across a law firm.

Skills, just launched as part of Clio Work, not only enables a lawyer to retain their work and style working with an AI-driven solution, but also enables an entire law firm.

The way a partner likes their demand letters drafted, how redline analysis is written, the matter summary format the firm has standardized–that knowledge used to live in one lawyer’s head or in a shared document. Now that knowledge is integrated directly into the work itself, helping legal professionals stay aligned to firm standards and approaches.

Robin Chesterman, Senior Director of Product at Clio, shares “Legal professionals shouldn’t have to re-introduce themselves to their AI every morning. Skills changes that relationship. Clio Work now remembers how you want your work done and matches the approach every time after that. As your practice evolves, you tell it to update the skill in conversation, and it does just that.”

Got me thinking of course of the Library at LexBlog, Inc. Imagine tapping into Clio Work or skills for all of the insight and commentary in the digital publishing of your firm’s lawyers over the last 20 years. And be able to retain such insight while working on documents or pleadings.

vLex, now part Clio, includes the LexBlog Library. The insight and commentary of all legal professionals could move through this same AI ecosystem—where the work happens. A lot of insight with the upcoming expansion of the Library.

Just thinking, well done Clio.

I am a trial lawyer, turned legal tech entrepreneur, now leading the largest community of legal publishers in the world at LexBlog, Inc.

I am a lawyer of 39 years. Wanting to be a lawyer since I was a kid, I have loved almost every minute of it.

I practiced as a trial lawyer in rural Wisconsin for 17 years, representing plaintiffs, whether they were injury victims and their family members or small businesses.

In the mid-nineties, I discovered the Internet in the form of AOL. I began helping people by answering questions on AOL message boards and leading AOL’s legal community.

I later started my own listservs and message boards to help people on personal injury, medical malpractice, workers compensation and plaintiff’s employment law matters. Though we were green to technology and the Internet, USA Today said if my firm “didn’t stop what we were doing, we would give lawyers a good name.”

In 1999, I closed my law firm and we moved, as a family of seven, to Seattle to start my first company. Prairielaw.com was a virtual law community of people helping people, a sort of AOL on the law, featuring message boards, articles, chats, listervs and ask-a-lawyer.

Prairielaw.com was sold to LexisNexis, where it was incorporated into Martindale-Hubbell’s lawyers.com.

After a stint as VP of Business Development at LexisNexis, I founded LexBlog out of my garage in 2004 (no affiliation with LexisNexis).

Knowing lawyers get their best work from relationships and a strong word of mouth reputation, and not promoting themselves, I saw blogging as a perfect way for lawyers to build relationships and a reputation.

When I could not find someone to help me with my own blog, I started a company to provide what I needed. Strategy, professional design, platform, coaching, SEO, marketing and free ongoing support.

As a result of the outstanding work of my team of twenty and my blogging, the LexBlog community has grown to a community of over 30,000 legal professionals, world-wide.

Publishing my blog, Real Lawyers, now in its 18th year, I share information, news, and commentary to help legal professionals looking to network online, whether it be via blogging or other social media.

Blogging also enables me to think through my ideas – out loud and in an engaging fashion.

In addition to my blog, I liberally share others’ insight on Twitter. Feel free to engage me there as well on LinkedIn and Facebook.
