College and university legal departments typically spend a significant amount of time generating new documents, many times derived from earlier, similar documents. If you are using old documents as the basis of new ones or you use a few plain templates, this seminar will show you a much more efficient approach. This program will review the methods and benefits of using document assembly technology, both internally and externally. Furthermore, you will see how document assembly systems are created and how they function once complete. In challenging economic times with pressure on legal office budgets, maximizing efficiency is more important than ever. You'll learn:

• The basic approaches to and benefits of document assembly
• How to use document assembly for knowledge management and information sharing both internally and externally
• How document assembly can be used to allow your campus clients to help themselves within parameters you establish
• How to use and maximize Word's built-in document assembly functions
• How to use other document assembly programs with Word

Taught by legal technologist Barron Henley, whose presentations at NACUA's past five annual conference have drawn outstanding registrant evaluations, this program is a unique opportunity to increase the efficiency with which your office drafts, uses and distributes standard documents. Through NACUA's virtual seminar platform you will be able to see Barron's computer screen and follow step-by-step throughout the program as he demonstrates how to perform each task and function. The program is also accompanied by a detailed outline with step-by-step instructions for each task.
