SURVEY METHODOLOGY & SAMPLE CHARACTERISTICS

The Survey of American Lawyers at Major Law Firms is a survey of partners, associates, of

counsel and contract lawyers with law firms in the United States with at least 25 lawyers.

The Survey of American Lawyers at Major Law Firms excludes lawyers working for

government, private corporations that are not law firms, law professors, and all law firms

with fewer than 25 lawyers Many Primary Research Group surveys are international in

scope; however, only law firms in the United States are included in this survey.

The survey schema is based on the following formula: 60% of the organizations in the

sample are drawn from law firms with 20-49 lawyers; 20% of the organizations in the

sample are drawn from law firms with 50-100 partners and 20% of the sample is drawn

from law firms with more than 100 lawyers.

480 law firms were randomly chosen as a frame and lawyers in these organizations were

randomly sampled. Not all law firms and individuals are approached to participate in each

study and there is some diversity in the sample from study to study. The sampling is

stratified by the three target size categories above; these categories were further sub-

divided by state, according to the number of law firms found in the state, and served as a

quota system for random selection within quotas defined by firm size and geographic

origin. The sample size for this study was 104 law firms and 256 lawyers.

The Survey of American Lawyers at Major Law Firms never asks its survey base about

particular cases that a firm has participated in or about particular clients of a firm. Data is

presented in the aggregate or in sub-groupings defined by the characteristics of the

individuals and firms in the sample. Some open ended questions are listed individually but

anonymously.

Names of individual respondents are confidential. The names of the law firms for which

individual respondents work is listed in an appendix to give survey users a better idea of

the types of firms in the sample. However, lawyers are approached individually and not

through any institutional arrangement with their law firm. Listing of a firm does not claim

or imply any decision by an institution to participate in this survey, or imply an

endorsement in any way of our products or findings.

Since the sample is chosen through random selection we cannot honor any requests for

individuals who may want to participate but who have not received an invitation. This is

not a reflection on any individual or firm but simply dictated by the survey methodology.

HOW TO READ THE DATA What percentage of the online legal research that you do is conducted on your laptop? Broken out by Age of Respondent Age of Respondent Mean Median Minimum Maximum Under 30 26,76 20,00 0,00 100,00 30-39 36,02 22,50 0,00 100,00 40-49 42,79 20,00 0,00 100,00 50-59 26,24 10,00 0,00 100,00 60 or Over 30,78 10,00 0,00 100,00 The far left hand column gives you the criteria by which the sample data is being broken out. In the example above, the criteria is Age of Respondent. The data is being broken out separately for different age groups in the sample population. So, row 2, starting from the far left says: Under 30. This means that the data on this row is for lawyers under the age of 30. Then, staying on the same row, the second column, and reading to the right, 26.76% of the legal research by lawyers in this age category is conducted on their laptop computers. Moving down to the third row, on the far left, it says 30-39. Then, reading to the right, 36.02% of the legal research done by lawyers in this age group was done on laptops. If you continue to the right, the next column after mean, or average, is the median. This is the “middle number” and a roughly equal number of lawyers are on each side of this number. So, for lawyers aged 30-39, for half of them less than 22.5% of their legal research is conducted on their laptops; for another half, more than 22.5% of their legal research is conducted on their laptops. Moving now further to the right, you see the columns minimum and maximum. These two columns give the lowest and highest numbers in the sample. So each age group has at least one lawyer who conducts no legal research on a laptop and at least one lawyer who conducts all of their legal research on a laptop.

SUMMARY OF MAIN FINDINGS

Percentage of Firms that Supply Laptops, Smartphones and Tablets to their Attorneys

We compared the percentage of lawyers in the sample who used firm supplied laptops and

smartphones to the percentage using firm supplied tablets. As might be expected more

individuals used firm supplied laptops and smartphones than tablets. 46.48% of the

lawyers in the sample used firm-supplied smartphones with the percentage climbing from

only a bit more than 35% of lawyers under 30 to peak at nearly 55% of lawyers aged 40-49

before falling back somewhat for older lawyers. 51.65% of men used a firm-supplied

smartphone but only 33.78% of women did so. 51% of partners had firm-supplied

smartphones but only about 39% of associates had them. Part of this reflects choice on the

part of the individuals involved rather than the policies of law firms. Only 25% of lawyers

who say that they are “not very proficient with computers or the internet” have a firm

supplied smartphone while more than 49% of those who say “I consider myself pretty tech

savvy” have them.

For tablets, only 10.55% of those sampled said that they have a firm-supplied tablet.

Interestingly these are overwhelmingly lawyers over the age of 50. Use of firm-supplied

tablets also seems more prevalent in smaller law firms as nearly 21% of the lawyers in

firms with from 25-49 lawyers had firm supplied tablets, well more than twice the

percentage in any other law firm size category. Men are more likely than women to have

firm supplied tablets as 12.64% of men have them vs. only 5.41% of women in the sample.

Skill with computers matters a lot as nearly 24% of those who say “I am the technology go-

to-person” have a firm supplied tablet while not a single lawyer who consider themselves

not very proficient with computers” have a tablet. This all suggests law firms still have a

technology training barrier to the proper use of tablets as they are being sought out most

aggressively by the most tech savvy. The use of firm-supplied tablets is also much greater

in certain practice areas than in others, particularly strong in areas in which litigation is

more common. For example, 26.83% of the lawyers in the sample in personal injury and

work predominantly for individuals use a firm-supplied tablet while only 4.65% of lawyers

in corporate, finance, securities and general industry law use firm supplied tablets – an

enormous difference. Also 16.67% of lawyers in health or environmental law use firm


18 | P a g e

supplied tablets; health law includes many lawyers involved in malpractice defense,

another area with extensive use of litigation.

The data on use of firm-supplied laptops is very different from that on tablets. 55.47% of

lawyers in the sample use firm supplied laptops and the data varied little by age group or

gender and was relatively similar when broken out for partners and associates. However,

lawyers at smaller firms – those with 25-49 lawyers – were significantly less likely than

others to use firm supplied laptops and only 30.23% of them did so.

Level of Satisfaction with Tablet Access to the Law Firm Website

We asked the sample how satisfied that they were with the access that they had to the law

firm website from their tablet computers. It was a multiple choice question and we gave

them five possible answers: Highly dissatisfied Dissatisfied More or less satisfied

Quite satisfied Highly satisfied. Most were more or less satisfied or quite satisfied,

27.34% and 28.52% respectively. However, a substantial minority, more than 18%, were

either highly dissatisfied or dissatisfied, mostly the latter. For whatever reasons,

dissatisfaction was greatest in the largest firms, those with more than 100 lawyers.

Percentage of Legal Research Done with Fixed Workstations, Smartphones, Laptops

and Tablets

We asked the lawyers in the sample what percentage of their online legal research did they

do with their smartphones, laptops and tablets. Smartphone use for legal research was

minimal, accounting for a mean of 2.82%. This was mostly accounted for by individuals

who consider themselves particularly savvy or a “go-to-technology person” and for these

individuals smartphones accounted for 3.36% and 4.3% of their online legal research,

respectively and may be a harbinger of things to come for the general population of

lawyers. Lawyers in corporate/finance/securities and general industry law were more

likely than others to use their smartphones for legal research, and it accounted for 3.84% of

their total research time.


19 | P a g e

Perhaps surprisingly, tablet computers accounted for a very small share of total online

legal research, only 7.06%. Most lawyers in the sample still do no research at all on their

tablets but a significant minority to a great deal of their research on tablets and it accounts

for 40-50-60% or more for this significant minority. Male partners and those who consider

themselves a “go-to-person” on information technology matters are more likely than others

to do legal research on tablets. For reasons not completely understood by us, lawyers

specializing in intellectual property are more likely than others to use their tablets for legal

research and tablets account for 12.61% of their total online legal research time. Perhaps

they are more aware of technology developments generally than other lawyers.

Research using laptops accounted for a mean of 33.37% of the online research efforts of the

lawyers in the sample, being especially favored by lawyers in employment law where it

accounted for 43.57% of online legal research.

Fixed workstations still account for most online legal research, if by a narrow margin.

Fixed workstations accounted for a mean of 52.85% of online legal research for the lawyers

in the sample. For most lawyers, fixed workstations still account for most research, as the

median amount of online legal research accounted for by fixed workstations was 70% but a

sizable number of lawyers who have largely left fixed workstations behind for legal

research drove the average or mean down below the median. Who are these lawyers who

are abandoning fixed workstation online research for various kinds of mobile devices?

Well they are not necessarily younger and gender differences account for nothing as both

genders seem to do about the same amount of their research on fixed workstations.

Overwhelmingly it is the firm’s “techies” those who when asked about their information

technology skills chose the description: “I am the technology go-to-person others come to

for help” and for lawyers in this group fixed workstations account for only 28.75% of their

online research. For whatever reasons, attorneys in employment law used fixed

workstations less often for their legal research than did their colleagues in other practice

areas.

Lawyer’s Use of Auxiliary and Detachable Keyboards with Tablets

About 34% of survey participants used some form of detachable or auxiliary keyboard with

their tablet. Younger lawyers were the most likely to do so as more than 47% of them used


20 | P a g e

a detachable or auxiliary keyboard with their tablet. Partners were much more likely to use

detachable or auxiliary keyboards and both were much more likely than lawyers of

counsel, generally older lawyers.

How Much Word Processing that Lawyers do on Tablets

We asked the lawyers in the sample how much word processing and writing do they do on

their tablet compared with other devices. This was a multiple choice question and we gave

them five possible answers: 1) None or Almost None- 2) Just Emails and Notes- 3) Starting

to transition from my laptop or desktop- 4) I do most of my writing on my Tablet now.

45.7% of survey participants said that they did none or almost none (word processing and

writing) on their tablets; another 39.06% said that they used it for note taking and emails

while 4.3% said that they were starting to transition from my laptop and desktop (implying

some word processing or writing with their tablets) while 1.17% said that they did most of

their writing with their tablets now. Who were those making the transition? There was

little difference by age or gender. However, one factor stood out. All those in the sample

choosing the answers indicating that they were doing some or most of their word

processing and writing on their tablets were partners; not a single associate in the sample

chose an answer that suggests that they were doing some or all of their writing on their

tablets. In addition, most were individuals who described themselves as tech savvy or tech

experts.

Tablet Brands Favored by Lawyers

Overwhelmingly, the lawyers in the sample owned iPads as their tablet of choice. Only

6.64% owned a Samsung tablet which were favored by lawyers over age 60 (14.55% had a

Samsung tablet) and by those who considered themselves the go-to-guy in their firm for

tech advice and 19.05% of them had Samsung tablets.


21 | P a g e

66.02% of those surveyed had an Apple tablet. More women than men had an Apple tablet;

71.62% had an apple tablet while only 63.74% of men had one.

Only 1.56% had a Google tablet; 5.88% of lawyers under 30 had a Google tablet. All Google

tablet users in the sample were female. All were in employment or real estate or insurance

law.

0.39% (less than 1%) of the lawyers in the sample had an Asus tablet.

0.78% (less than 1%) of the lawyers in the sample use a Lenovo tablet; all were male

partners at the largest firms and all working in employment law.

Use of Office for Android and Office for iPad

We asked the lawyers in the sample if they used Office for Android or Office for iPad. These

are mobile versions of the Microsoft Office suite; their use may indicate a tendency to use

tablets for word processing or spreadsheet analysis or presentation preparation or other

tasks that are now often done on laptops or desktops.

Only 0.78% of lawyers sampled, less than 1%, used Office for Android. Office for iPad, on

the other hand, was being used by 18.75% of the lawyers in the sample. Its use was

particularly popular at the largest firms, those with more than 200 lawyers, and 22.22% of

the lawyers in the sample that worked for such firms were using Office for iPad. Use rose

with the individual’s self-perception of information technology prowess; the more capable

the individual felt in the technology realm, the more likely that they were to use Office for

iPad.

Use of Google Drive, Dropbox and Box.com

Since tablets are often used with cloud storage services since they have limited storage in

the devices themselves, we asked the sample if they used any of three popular cloud-based

storage options: Google Drive, Dropbox or Box.com.


22 | P a g e

21.88% of the lawyers in the sample used Google Drive; its popularity was largely inversely

proportional to age as younger lawyers were more likely to use it than older ones. 23.63%

of men in the sample used Google Drive vs. 17.57% of the women. Associates were about

twice as likely as partners to use Google Drive 34.72% to 17.77%.

Dropbox was used by 45.7% of the lawyers in the sample. Its use was highest at smaller

firms with between 25 and 49 lawyers where 65.12% of the lawyers sampled used

Dropbox. Once again men were much more likely than women to use Dropbox; 50% of

the men but just 35.14% of the women used Dropbox. Box.com, on the other hand, was use

by 6.64% of lawyers sampled. For whatever reasons use was particularly high by lawyers

who spent little work time on litigation. Personal injury and other lawyers with mostly

individuals as clients were by far the greatest users of Box.com and more than 17% of them

in the sample used the service.

Does the Use of Tablets Increase Billable Hours?

We asked the lawyers in the sample if their tablet computers had helped them to increase

their billable hours. 27.73% of the lawyers in the sample said that they had. The youngest

lawyers were the most likely to say that their tablets had helped them to increase their

billable hours: more than 47% of them said yes. Trial related lawyers, such as those in

personal injury and medical malpractice defense were more likely than others to say that

their tablets helped them to increase their billable hours.

Uses of the Tablet

We asked the lawyers in the sample what did they use their tablets for at work. Apart from

email, the most prominent and important use was its use of the road. The tablet allowed an

important minority of lawyers to make much better use of their travel time and this

sometimes resulted in less downtime and more billable hours while in transport. Another

use was work from home. Only a small percentage used it for word processing but many

more used it for basic legal research, particularly while on the road, and especially as a


23 | P a g e

quick and easy way to pull up key documents. For many it plays a role in depositions and

supplemental internet searches. A quick ability to tap into a firm’s databases was also an

appreciated end use. The home office uses of the tablet also were important to many in the

sample.

Favored Apps

Some of the apps most favored by the lawyers sampled were: GoodReader, Dropbox,

BigHand, NetDocuments, iAnnotate, FlightTrack, Evernote, Regoster, Textius, Dictadroid,

Aderant “On the Go”, and others.

How the Tablet Can Help Increase Billable Hours

About 27% of the lawyers sampled said that their tablets help them to increase their

billable hours. Overwhelmingly they said that tablets helped them to add billable hours

while traveling. The term “traveling” here is meant broadly and can include commuting to

and from work or to and from local destinations. Another factor was that the tablets faster

start up time can save time for lawyers who must respond to many emails. The search

capability of tablet also reduces the amount of time spent searching through paper

documents or lugging them from place to place.

at that the, the options for productivity and document management software suitable for legal work was inadequate. My firm issued laptop is loaded with crapware and is locked down to an unreasonable degree, so it is not much more functional except when the IT office is open to provide admin credentials whenever I need to access the setting on my computer of gain access to a website that gets blocked by the firms' firewall. In sum, my laptop is set up to facilitate document preparation in accordance with the firm's policies and document management system.

39) I prefer a laptop/desktop 40) N/A 41) Do not own a tablet 42) It doesn't. I need a real keyboard. 43) Not nearly as good without a fixed keyboard or mouse 44) Desktop is my first choice, laptop second, tablet last 45) Always prefer desktop or laptop, due to better keyboard. 46) Laptop and desktop fairly similar.

desktop 59) I rarely use a tablet for document preparation. 60) only use the laptop to generate documents 61) dont use either 62) Useless 63) not applicable 64) Tablet is not useful for preparing documents. 65) Not used 66) Tablets are nice for checking e-mail and surfing the web, but you can't prepare

detailed briefs and pleadings on them. 67) laptop far superior 68) N/! 69) Not very useful. 70) n/a

Both the screen and keyboard are much bigger than on my lap top, so I prefer doing serious typing with it.

109) not applicable 110) I do not use my tablet in this fashion. 111) Laptop is slightly easier because I dock at my desk with standard keyboard

and large screen. I use a Microsoft Surface Pro 2 tablet, which is powerful and runs Office suite; however, I prefer to work on documents on my laptop.
