[quote=Anonymous]The reason for the "showing results" guidance isn't really to prove you were successful, per se. It is because people latch onto concreteness in resumes. The point of the "increased sales by 20%" example is that it sounds more concrete and particular, and hence more likely to be true, than "increased sales in my organization." The reader doesn't need to know the amount was 20%, but the reader wants to know this was a tangible outcome. With that background in mind, it shouldn't be that hard to apply to the legal field. E.g. replace "drafted many briefs" with "drafted over four dozen appellate briefs" and "has experience deposing people" with "deposed two dozen named representatives in complex consumer class action."
