My library [Knowledge Sources To Go](https://www.servicenow.com/community/training-and-certifications/knowledge-sources-to-go/ta-p/2310130) is very popular, but it was intended mainly as a thematically grouped guide to standard sources and was provided by me as a PDF file. For certain topics, however, there is so much content that I can no longer include it in that document, as it cannot continue to grow forever.
For this reason, I have decided to handle such topics in individual community articles like this one instead.

What is Legal Service Delivery?
The ServiceNow Legal Service Delivery solution helps by modernizing your Legal Operations, replacing the inefficient, manually reliant processes with technology-enabled work and service management capabilities that provide a better service experience for both service equesters and service providers. In line with the foundation outlined earlier, ServiceNow Legal Service Delivery provides:
* **An omnichannel self-service experience.** This allows employees to either self-source the help they need, including automated responses, or submit a structured request to the Legal Operations team using pre-defined request intake forms. Importantly, this and the checking of request status can be undertaken on any employee device including mobile phones. From the Legal Operations team’s perspective, this both improves the service experience and minimizes the administrative burden.
* **Practice-specific digital workflows.** These ensure that requests are properly routed and prioritized. Meaning that your legal personnel will also enjoy a better experience, along with significant productivity gains – with the prioritized work requests coming into a unified Legal Counsel Center experience and Legal Matters Management capabilities that are enabled by predefined automated digital workflows for the most common legal requests and a powerful recommendation capability. For example, achieving a 10% saving in managing outside counsel instruction.
* **Improved insight into what’s most important.** The ServiceNow Legal Reporting and Executive Dashboard capability offers a real-time view of service demand and performance, service trends over time, scorecards, and the ability to identify poor service experiences and take action to improve.dashboards and key performance indicators (KPIs) available for the most critical tasks, requests, and legal matters the business demands.
