Documentation lies at the core of legal activity; all definition, opinions, arguments,
and notices are expressed in written documents. Many of these documents
are standardized, requiring only the unique information to be inserted into the
documents. However, virtually all documents are subject to constant revisions
as an inevitable part of the legal process and any change must be precisely
communicated.
Consequently, law offices are inundated with paper. Although the use of legal-sized
paper is declining, many firms will still consider it an important feature. Most often
you will discover documents on legal-sized paper combined with letter-sized
paper. Clarity is essential and reproduction of detailed drawings or photographs
of evidence or crime scenes may be vital. Large law firms will also be looking
to control and reduce document costs, automating and digitizing files and records/
document security.
Today, the legal services market represents one of the country’s largest industries.
It extends from private law firms and corporate legal departments across to the
many agencies and departments of the criminal and civil justice systems. Presently,
there are over one million attorneys in the United States and some 35,000 new
attorneys enter practice every year. Of that number, 3 out of 4 lawyers practice
privately, either in law firms or in solo practices. Most of the remaining lawyers hold
positions in government and with corporations and nonprofit organizations.
It’s somewhat unusual to find color printers or copiers widely deployed in the
typical law firm. However, color documents do appear in the discovery process.
Many times these documents are converted to grayscale or black to reduce
the size of the file and to increase printing speed as well as for storage in litigation
support systems instead of in full color.
Document security, account tracking and bates stamping are solution areas that
are regularly engaged in this market. eCopy solutions are already prevalent in this
sector. The Captaris RightFax extender may also be of interest to the legal market.
