Understanding the Client Homework Bottleneck
Many lawyers experience frustration when clients do not complete homework assignments, such as questionnaires or document requests. This bottleneck often stalls cases and leads to resentment towards clients, who may be perceived as not taking their matters seriously. However, it is crucial to recognize that the homework bottleneck is more related to how assignments are structured and assigned rather than clients' willingness to cooperate. Improving homework return rates hinges on developing better communication strategies and understanding clients' perspectives, which ultimately fosters stronger relationships.
