2004-2005 ABA Legal Technology Survey Report

The 2004-2005 ABA Legal Technology Survey Report has been released. This bi-annual survey is divided into 5 parts: Law Office Technology, Litigation and Courtroom Technology, Web and Communication Technology, Online Research and Mobile Lawyers. The entire survey costs a whopping $2,000 but ABA members can download trend reports for each of the 5 sections for free.

Some interesting, and fairly predictable, data from the online research portion of the survey includes the following:

  • 45% start online research with fee-based online resource
  • 73% use free online resources for legal research
  • 68% reported using print materials more often than any other format
  • Only 50% of attorneys younger than 40 used print regularly
  • Use of CD-ROMs continued to decline with only 18% using them regularly
