Solution

The sampling method used in this scenario is Simple random sampling.

Here's why:

In simple random sampling, each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected. In this case, each law firm (the population) has an equal chance of having its phone number (the sample) selected by the computer. The selection is random and does not involve any stratification or clustering. It's also not systematic because there's no set pattern or interval for selecting the phone numbers.
