I am always interested in surveys that provide information on attorney iPhone and iPad use, and the latest report that I have seen on this subject is the 2014 Survey of American Lawyers at Major Law Firms: Use of Tablet Computers by Primary Research Group, Inc. Primary Research Group is a professional research firm that publishes research reports, surveys, and benchmarking studies for businesses, colleges, libraries, law firms, hospitals, museums, and other institutions. This is a survey of randomly chosen partners, associates, of counsel and contract attorneys at U.S. law firms with 25 or more attorneys who have used (but do not necessarily own) a tablet computer. The sample size for this survey was 104 law firms and 256 attorneys. There are some interesting results in this new report, and Primary Research Group gave me permission to report on some the findings. If you purchase the report, you get a huge amount of additional information, essentially everything that you might want to make use of all of the survey responses.

As noted above, the participants in this survey work at a law firm with 25 or more attorneys and have used a tablet before, but don’t necessarily own one. The survey asked respondents what brand of tablet that they own. The results were 66.0% iPad, 6.6% Samsung, 4.8% Microsoft Surface, 1.6% Google, 0.8% Lenovo, 0.4% Asus. Samsung and Google both make tablets that use the Android operating system. I believe that Lenovo and Asus make both Android and Windows tablets.
