I came across a segment from 60 Minutes on a gentleman named Bill James.  They call him “Stat Man” and he has developed a whole body of work that interprets baseball stats in a different and as he believes, more meaningful way.  You can watch the segment below.  What caught my attention most was one particular comment by a player.  He said that “what we’re realizing is that the teams that pay attention to all of these stats perform better.”

I love that!  It parallels my feeling about the legal industry.  It can be tedious to track and measure everything, but the firms that do – well, they outperform the firms that don’t.
