DETERMINAREA UNUI MODEL TEORETIC OPTIM PENTRU PLATFORMELE SOFTWARE DE DOCUMENTARE JURIDICĂ.

The paper addresses the legal professions' digitalization topic from the perspective of growing the competitiveness of legal and para-legal professionals using the Legal Research Software applications. In the paper, according to „The Generic Valuer Chain" described by Michael Porter, the activities of a lawyer or a legal advisor are mapped, thus identifying the main activities - the activities that directly create the final client's perception of value for the services received. Next, are identified the theoretical and operational models which correspond to the „Value Chain". Later, analysing those models, are determined the optimal characteristics that a Legal Research Software should have. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
