Lawyers love documents. They love creating
documents, reading documents, commenting on
documents and even comparing documents to other

(DMS) has become the cornerstone of the legal
desktop suite. While neither documents nor the DMS
are going away in the foreseeable future, the way
these concepts are defined is changing to meet the
needs of today's law firms. Here are five trends to
watch for in the next five years.
