The San Diego Defense Attorneys Association (SDDAA) says desk organization is very important for lawyers especially since paperwork is essential in their profession. In an E-Forum cascaded by the SDDAA to its members, resource persons ranging from organizing experts to home office designers, and long-time law office administrators have shared experiences and tips in organizing desks to help create a better work environment. “More than industry-related learning opportunities, we also make it a point to provide enrichment opportunities that are not directly related to work, but could have an impact to it,” explains SDDAA Executive Director Frank Adams.

Next topic according to Adams is about the importance of sleep, and how to ensure lawyers get enough of it despite the demands of work.
