80% of lawyers responding to a recent survey conducted by the ABA Legal Technology Resource Center report using a mobile device, an increase from prior years. Interestingly, that number is almost 100% for large law firms with over 100 attorneys, but only 65% for solo practitioners and 80% for people in firms with less than 10 people. At first, I assumed that the high number for large law firms was because large law firms might be more likely to give away smartphones to all attorneys, but the survey reveals otherwise. In firms with more than 100 attorneys, respondents reported that around half used a personally owned mobile device and around half used a device permanently assigned by the law firm.
