The Law To Know

Module 3

Finding the problems: bottlenecks, rework, waiting and root causes

A map shows what happens. This module teaches you to see what is wrong. Most problems in legal processes fall into a few recognisable kinds, and once you know them they are easy to spot. The module also teaches the discipline that separates a good analyst from a quick one: finding the root cause before proposing a fix. A team that automates a symptom builds a faster way to produce the same mistakes. The examples are drawn from an invented company, and the methods are the ordinary tools of process improvement, adapted to legal work.

General education on process design, using invented organisations, policies and figures. It is not legal advice. Rules in the examples are illustrations: a real policy or statute must be read from its source, and any decision logic built from it should be checked by a lawyer.
