Another dragnet of definitions for the law-department management glossary

My post of May 3, 2006 rounded up 32 of the usual suspects, both words or phrases, and my sweep of Aug. 26, 2006 nabbed 10 more. Still, a number of definitions remained at large, 13 of which I have captured below with the reference in parentheses to post or posts that discuss them – all in arresting prose.

Administrator, office manager, head of operations, etc. (Aug. 1, 2006)
Claims (June 15, 2006)
Commodity legal services (Sept. 13, 2006 and March 13, 2006)
Competence, personality and emotional intelligence (Nov. 13, 2005 and July 14, 2005)
Independent counsel for the Board of Directors (Nov. 24, 2005 #3)
Large law department (June 27, 2006 -- more than 21 lawyers)
