Data vis rules from Nicholas Bailey at @wavelengthlaw (1) The fat pen test - if you can't draw it well with a fat pen... (2) The title test - if your colleagues can't understand without a title... (3) The u-turn test - will your data vis not cause a u-turn? #LegalGeek

Amidst all the fun of #LegalGeek - the Legal Tech Hub has launched! They aim to have you covered for all your “what #legaltech is out there?” questions - much like they recently covered my face (I *think* to thank me for joining their beta)

Great stuff from Richard Punt at @TRLegalEurope re #legaltech ROI on @wearelegalgeek - don't base your business case for legal tech on efficiency gains alone. Instead, focus on how it can deliver better value to clients. Harder but more meaningful! 👍 #LegalGeek
