of civil legal problems faced by low-income Americans received no or inadequate legal help, according to the Legal Services Corporation’s 2022 Justice Gap Study.
87%
of law firms now allow lawyers to work remotely, reflecting lasting shifts in how attorneys practice since the pandemic.
2.6
hours per day is the average billable time logged by lawyers, representing just 33% of an eight-hour workday according to Clio’s Legal Trends Report.
44%
of lawyers with less than 10 years of experience would leave their current job for greater ability to work remotely, per an ABA survey.
