Mary Juetten’s second book, The Business of Legal: The Data-Driven Law Practice launched at the end of last month as a Kindle offering on Amazon.* Again written in plain English, with simple case studies, Juetten provides an approach for lawyers and other legal technicians to use data and process to drive change. Mary uses her thirty-year plus business, accounting, law, and consulting background to provide a road map for lawyers looking to improve their firms, all in less than 100 pages, complete with pictures! Actually, any professional can adapt the book’s advice to create a data-driven successful practice.
