The publication of An Open Letter From 25 General Counsel on July 11th has led to an outpouring of responses and reactions from different corners of the legal profession. We’re excited to see it—one of the aims of the Thought Leaders Experiment was always to create debate and dialogue.
A fair bit of the discussion has been about the goals of the experiment—what’s it really for? This has become a bit of a Rorschach test for the whole legal profession: we’re all looking at the same inkblot, but we’re seeing (sometimes entirely) different things. Some of the discussion presumes the experiment is a billing review or cost analysis. It’s not, so we thought it would be helpful for us to clarify what it is.
