Desk is the attorney’s work surface for items that need attention.
It should keep attorneys focused on review, decisions, and judgment instead of forcing them to hunt through disconnected tools.
What belongs on Desk
Desk should surface:
- Workup output ready for attorney review.
- Deadline-sensitive case items.
- Intake issues that need attorney judgment.
- Case questions, corrections, and escalations.
- Follow-up work that blocks progress.
What does not belong on Desk
Desk should not become a dumping ground for every low-value task. Routine administrative work should stay with the person responsible for it unless attorney judgment is needed.
Working from Desk
Open the item, review the source case context, make the decision, and record the result. The goal is a smaller, clearer set of attorney decisions. Last modified on June 22, 2026
