Erik Mazzone was recently hired by the North Carolina Bar Association as the Director of their newly-established Center for Practice Management. Now he has started the blog, Law Practice Matters. I got to meet Erik at ABA TECHSHOW. He wanted to compile a few weeks worth of blog posts before announcing his blog to
Website of the Week
Site of the Week: PopURLS®
By Jim Calloway on
This is not my normal Website of the Week. But first, a CONTENT WARNING: Due to the nature of American popular culture, it is highly likely you will find something that offends you on this week’s Website of the Week. OK, now that we have that out of the way, PopURLS® is an fascinating look…
Site of the Week: Electronic Information Privacy Center
By Jim Calloway on
After hearing Marc Rotenberg, the Executive Director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, speak on the amount of our information that is available online and trends that impact our privacy even more, it is a pretty easy choice to name the Electronic Privacy Information Center’s website, EPIC.org, as my Website of the Week…
Sites of the Week: Sites for Mac Lawyers
By Jim Calloway on
When a lawyer tells me that they are using an Apple Mac computer, I always direct them to visit and bookmark Apple’s Small Business – Legal website. They do a good job of providing links to law office specific software for the Mac as well as links to events, news items and other sites.

Site of the Week: Wikipedia
By Jim Calloway on
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia anyone can edit, is without a doubt one of the largest, if not the largest, free online reference resource. The fact that anyone can edit it, along with a couple of well-publicized Wikipedia hoaxes, have led many lawyers to classify Wikipedia as unreliable when nothing could be further from the…
Site of the Week: 100 Milestone Documents
By Jim Calloway on
Today’s Website of the Week may not help you solve a client’s problem. But 100 Milestone Documents is a nice collection of links to the most important documents in our nation’s history, as compiled by the National Archives and Records Administration. Whether you just want to be able to quickly locate an important historical document…
Site of the Week: Lawyers with Depression.com
By Jim Calloway on
Following up on a prior post, this week I will feature Lawyers with Depression.com as my Website of the Week. Attorney Dan Lukasik had the courage to set up this site to help other lawyers dealing with depression and mental health issues. Some advised him that he would be at career risk if he…
Site of the Week: KeyXL
By Jim Calloway on
OK, I admit I do like keyboard shortcuts most than most lawyers (in spite of the fact that I’ve probably forgotten more of them than I retain.) It is almost always quicker to hit a key combination than to grab the mouse and start aiming for your target. Memorize and use the keyboard shortcuts for…
Site of the Week: GoogleGuide
By Jim Calloway on
I know there are other search engine options besides Google, but Google still dominates the search engine landscape. Most lawyers are proficient at using search engines because the techniques are not that different from digital legal research. But power searching is one area where the poor need to improve and the good can always get…
Site of the Week: Gruntled Employees
By Jim Calloway on
I first became aware of the Shepard Law Group as a result of legal media coverage they received when they banished the billable hour from their firm. Jay Shepard came up with a very cute idea for the name of a blog related to employment law issues: Gruntled Employees. (After all you don’t want…
