I’m a bit late congratulating my friend Dennis Kennedy on his new gig as technology columnist for the ABA Journal. He will make interesting use of that platform.
His first column was titled "Finding It—Difficult." He noted how desktop search tools allow you to save interesting articles quickly, perhaps all in one folder, and…
This month I decided to put together a legal technology quiz. Take the quiz here.
I will confess up front that entertainment was the primary goal here rather than true benchmarking of knowledge. Nevertheless, if you get a 3 or 4, you might have some cause for concern. I will note that the best possible…
Voice-Activated Technology for Lawyers is the subject of my column in the Oklahoma Bar Journal this month. It is a farily short treatment of a big topic, but it includes links to my previous articles on speech recognition software and digital dictation devices.

Law Technolgoy News is a no-brainer. It is free in either a…
When you think of wikis, you may think only of Wikipedia. But in fact there are quite a few law-related wikis. For a discussion of the tool and a list of links to law-related wikis, check out Bob Ambrogi’s article "Legal Wikis are Bound to Wow You."
It seems like a lot of medium-sized law…
"The Rise and Fall of the Dictation Tape" is my article in the Oklahoma Bar Journal this month. If you do a lot of dictation, this article may be very useful for you. It is amazing how quickly tape dictation units are being phased out of law firms in favor of digital dictation. Even if…

The inaugural issue, dated March, 2007, is now available online. Like its sister publication, Law Practice Today, it is free and I strongly suggest that you subscribe…
