New generation technology allows an effective and not duplicating legal work flow
If you are like most government professionals, you are satisfied with your work and the tools you have to do it. But it could be better: a Thomson Reuters State of the Government Legal Department report Said that even if their satisfaction is strong, more than half of the respondents think that they spend too much time on administrative tasks. Almost half of them believe that these tasks decrease their time spent on their legal practice.
The anxiety that according to lawyers fundamentally concerns efficiency – an apparent deficit in the government’s legal offices. This is associated with a desire to improve the effectiveness of their “customers”, users of government legal services. As in many industries, in terms of efficiency, technology is ready to help.
The four use cases below show how you can become better and faster in consumer legal tasks.

Admission and material management
It happened before: you receive an email from a citizen who wonders a question. You may not be the right lawyer to face it, or the person has contacted several people in the hope of finding a quick response. So, before even starting, the question is not on an effective trajectory. Requests to come by e-mail, telephone or in person, requests could be found in several reception boxes, which leads to double efforts and difficulties in following the state of the issue.
When you are overwhelmed by a number of requests, the admission and sorting process requires efficiency through standardization and automation. The nature of fortune in taking requests from various methods leads to incoherent information and an ad hoc delegation. Using electronic forms and automatic routing for all requests, government lawyers obtain full information and know what has been assigned to them. This guarantees that the contribution becomes more concentrated – the right shape, the right information and the good lawyer. The applicants do not proceed until all the relevant information is subject, but when they are, their business moves more quickly. And, by following all questions electronically, department heads can maintain reasonable workloads for their lawyers, have visibility on deadlines and examine the analysis for future information.

Contract life cycle management
Contracts play an essential role in the functioning of a developed society. As a lawyer, you have probably participated in dozens or hundreds of them. But even with a vast contractual experience, you can buried with the ineffectiveness of the process. Several parties mean several modifications and revisions. The reuse of the same contracts for different questions can introduce human errors and missed deadlines. A process that should be simple can move away quickly.
Here is where new generation technology shines. A centralized digital standard for legal documents can:
- Home contracts and other documents, classifying them by type of material, constituent, due date or assigned lawyer
- Provide deadlines and shift status
- Take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) to extract contractual information, locate and correct inconsistencies in the creation of contracts and reduce the time of lawyers on repetitive tasks
- Use a generative AI to create a starting point for writing contracts
- Assign personalized security levels so that lawyers can share sensitive documents with confidence
Requests for public files
Government’s transparency is fundamental for public confidence and active participation of citizens. Federal laws, such as the Freedom of Information Act (Foia), for example, guarantee the right to see and obtain copies of documents held by the ministries (with certain exceptional information.)
Poorly structured systems and workflows can hamper the rapid realization of these requests, resulting in delays and arrears. Even clear cutting requests can impress ineffective systems, erode public confidence and increase the risk of prosecution.
A central benchmark, fueled by AI, can automate data sorting, relevance prediction and the drafting of documents. Research becomes more logical, even without detailed research terms. With billions of government agency files, which could take weeks in manual research can be done in a few minutes or hours. The AI can also generate automated performance measures, offering managers a precise image of the volume of requests received and the response file of their department.
Title IX incident reports
Title IX, the historical law implemented in 1972, prohibits sex -based discrimination in any program or education activity funded by the federal government. His protections cover students, teachers and staff.
The management of incidents of the title IX is often a sensitive work, potentially involving minor students in delicate situations. Timing is also essential, as when a student reports the behavior of a current instructor. If the incidents are poorly managed, the implications can be acute both for the institution and the file.
Title IX workflows can be simplified with advanced technologies. With a workflow tool, you can quickly check if a school complies according to the current judicial interpretation.
An advanced platform for the workflow of title IX can also simplify the work of government lawyers. It helps you quickly check if an educational institution complies with title IX using the latest interpretations of the law. In addition, the tool can automate the sorting and prioritization of requests for improving precision and response time.
For those who deposit a title IX incident, the process is now more rationalized with automated consumption. Easy to fill electronic forms detail the violation, including important details such as dates and locations. In addition, all communications between you and your customers are fully secure and accessible only to the relevant parts. This ensures that customers can be specific to violation with confidence.
