Everyone knows clients get bombarded with legal information, much of it from law firms. How much of that material they are interested in or find useful is a good deal harder to divine.

I had a chance to get some broad indications on the point while working on the launch of Legal Week Law, our online library of legal briefings, which is aimed at in-house legal teams. Since the site generates detailed information on clients’ reading habits, working on it gave us a reasonable idea of the practice areas and topics that resonate.
