This week I was a guest speaker at the Mississippi Bar Technology Conference. While they have had technology conferences in the past, this one was a little different as it was a part of the ongoing efforts of the ABA Law Practice Management Section and others to help Gulf Coast lawyers recover from Katrina.

Well, I seem to have zipped through this week with little time to blog. I did give five presentations to various groups, including some OBA CLE programs. Of course, in Oklahoma this week, there are many who are concerned with gridiron injustices. So I’ve received quite a few e-mails with links to this website:
I would have warned everyone that I was taking a week off from blogging, but it really wasn’t my intent. I was hosted much of last week by those great folks at the Mississippi Bar at their 2006 Summer School for Lawyers. (I have no idea how much longer that second link will be…

Since this is a $200 discount, it is important to register early. Oklahoma Bar members can contact me for…
Hey, I like all sorts of tips for lawyers. This collection of Appellate Practice Tips from North Dakota was compiled from a "tip of the week" feature. Some are state specific, but mainly these are great common sense tips to help with appellate work.
As I noted yesterday, ABA webmaster Fred Faulkner asked the question "Are You Ready for Local Search?" He makes the point that as local search tools become more utilized by the public, it becomes an absolute necessity for a law firm to have a web site.

The 2005 Federal Sentencing Guideline Manual is online. It appears from the site that a PDA version will be available soon. Hey, I know it’s not my usual type of post. But the manual has been revised and is effective November 1, 2005, so I thought I’d help get the word out.
