March 29, 2010

During the fall of 2009, the Legal Technology Institute at the University of Florida Levin College of Law conducted an extensive nationwide survey of the legal profession regarding its use of case, matter and practice management system software. The Executive Summary of the 2010 Perfect Practice' ' Legal Technology Institute Case, Matter, and Practice Management System Study is available at www.law.ufl.edu/lti.

The 2010 CMS Study was co-sponsored by Client Profiles, LexisNexis, Thomson Reuters, InsideLegal.com, Legal Files Software, Omega Legal Systems, PerfectLaw Software and Synaptec Software. The survey asked 75 questions, many of which were specific to the respondents' use of case, matter and practice management systems (“CMS”). The questionnaire was sent out to thousands of randomly selected legal professionals throughout the U.S. A total of 341 completed and qualified surveys were returned.
