[Thoughtful Legal Management] Which Tablet Should You Buy for the Holidays?

♫ I’ve been an angel all year Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight…♫ “Santa Baby” by J. Javits and P. Springer, originally sung by Ertha Kitt. iPad While I was at the 1st Canadian Forum on Court Technology in Ottawa in September, I took a moment and looked around at the audience. From where I stood, at least 3/4 of the mobile devices on which attendees were taking notes were iPads. This was a defining moment for me – without question the future of...

[Law Practice Matters] Google Chrome - Now With Apps!

A funny thing happened on the way to Google Chrome. Earlier this week, Google rolled out the Chrome Web Store which allows you to add apps to your Chrome browser. So far, I've found some apps to be terrific, totally different experiences for interacting with a site (such as the New York Times app) and others to be just a glorified bookmark (the Google Reader app, for instance). In order to add apps to Chrome, you have to first navigate to the Chrome Web Store. Once you do, and you begin...

[Law Practice Matters] Get Email Notifications of NC Appellate Court Opinions

This is cool for the NC lawyers out there: you can now sign up to be notified by email when new opinions from the NC Court of Appeals and NC Supreme Court are published. The first opinion notifications should be coming out on December 17, 2010 (Supreme Court) and December 21, 2010 (Court of Appeals). I assume that since it is referred to as a notification that it will not be the full opinion that is emailed to you; more likely it will be a link. Sign up here to receive the notifications.

[Law Practice Matters] ABA TECHSHOW - April 11-13, 2011, Chicago

Well, this is awkward. Been a while since I showed up around these parts. For months I've been hoping that if I just ignored it long enough my blog would start writing itself. Worked like a charm, obviously. Stupid lack of self-writing blog. Anyway, in a divine stroke of karma or coincidence or whatever belief system you ascribe to stuff happening that convinces you you must have been one evil, puppy-kicking S.O.B. in a past life, it turns out that I (alongside my friend, Brett Burney) am...

[The Last Word] Red Flag Rule Clarification Act Passes!! What??

Most practicing lawyers probably haven’t followed this fight closely, but anxious bar officials breathed a sign of relief yesterday. The U.S. House of Representatives followed the Senate in passing the Red Flag Program Clarification Act, exempting attorneys – and other professionals – who provide services before being paid from having to follow the FTC Red [...]
