What might lead to the next big Supreme Court case? Here are some possibilities

The Court currently has 43 arguments scheduled for this term.  For the most part, these cases will go under the radar. Even cases with large sets of amicus briefs, usually a good sign of generalized interest in cases, do not contain the same blockbuster quality as cases in recent terms.  For example, amici filed nearly 30 merits briefs in the case Weyerhaeuser Company v. U.S. Fish and Wildlife…

FindLaw’s new white paper on legal consumer behavior came to some interesting conclusions. 

The overarching takeaway in FindLaw’s newest white paper is this: when consumers find themselves facing a legal issue like a car accident or estate planning, they typically react quickly. Fueled by emotional factors such as worries over money or even jail time, they have a strong urge to find an attorney as soon as possible.

My thoughts on this takeaway go in two directions: the shift towards mobile and visual design. On the first, I think that as more and more of a consumer oriented law firm’s potential client base is mobile (and they are), that being accessible on mobile platforms is going to be key. An integrated marketing strategy that on the digital side includes a well appointed responsive site with good design and photography, engagement on one or more social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) and well-honed profiles on legal directories (good profile picture!) will be necessary. Going further and making use of apps like Pickle Legal might also prove valuable. An audience “fueled by emotional factors” is going to respond viscerally and search where they’re comfortable searching.
