If you’re a #lawyer doing #documentAutomation or wanting to do some for your #precedents here’s a #TopTip: prepare your precedent for automation first. Cleanse it. Use highlighting or brackets to indicate the fields that should be automated. That way, when you insert fields, the automation will be effortless. Just like the master woodcutter spends more time sharpening his axe, prepare your precedents!
