Remember the digital era forecasts? Offices of the future were supposed to be nearly paperless.
It’s no secret to you tha they’re not. The ease with which one can get, write and copy information in the digital age has sheets of paper multiplying at a landfill-choking clip.
It’s a prevalent problem across all industries. Aside from say, publishing, probably no field rivals law when it comes to producing reams of pages.
A recent survey of law firms found that each attorney generates up to 100,000 sheets a year. Assuming a 2,000-hour work year, that’s 50 pages an hour. Almost a sheet a minute. Enough paper laid end-to-end to wrap around the U.S. Supreme Court Building 66 times.
