Next Friday, I will be in Nashville, TN speaking at Law Tech 2010, sponsored by the Tennessee Bar Association. Specifically, I will be presenting "Software as a Service (SaaS): Practicing Law in the Clouds", using programs such as DropBox, Evernote, Rocket Matter, etc. I will also be participating in a Mac round table discussion with Finis Price and Steve Weaver. If you are in the area, you can register here for this seminar.
The ABA TechShow blog has a series called "The Best of ABA TechShow 2009", which features some of the best presentations given by past speakers to showcase some of the content available to attendees. I am pleased that "Got Apple Envy? Macs in a PC World", the presentation given by David Sparks and me is one of those featured. The session description is listed below, and you can download a *.pdf version of our materials as well.
It used to be the only apples found in the law office were in lunch bags. No longer: the resurgence of the Apple Macintosh platform has led to many attorneys now practicing law on their Macs. Popular Mac attorneys and bloggers Ben Stevens and David Sparks discussed the Macintosh platform at ABA TECHSHOW 2009 in their session "Got Apple Envy? Practicing Law with a Mac."
David and Ben provided a convincing argument about why using a Mac for the practice of law makes sense, and also shared strategies and recommendations on the best hardware and software solutions for a Mac attorney. Finally, they explained how to successfully drive a Mac in a PC firm with recommendations for networking and file sharing.
The attendees enjoyed an entertaining and educational session. Ben and David will both be back presenting at ABA TECHSHOW 2010. Click here to read David and Ben's paper!
I am in Orlando, Florida this weekend, speaking at MILO Fest 2009 on the subject of "Computing in the Clouds." My talk will discuss ways to use web-based technology in the practice of law, including programs like Evernote, Dropbox, and Gmail. I look forward to getting to meet and spend some time with my readers at this conference.
If you are a Mac-using attorney (or if you want to become one), then you should attend MILO Fest 2009, the Mac-focused conference for attorneys that will be held Thursday, November 5, 2009, through Saturday, November 7, 2009, at the Disney World Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, FL.
Topics announced thus far include: SaaS Roundtable, Branding with your Mac, Running Your Practice in the Cloud, Social Media Business Development, Stupid iPhone Lawyer Tricks, Creating Kick-Butt Legal Presentations, and Video for Lawyers on a Mac.

As you may know, The Mac Lawyer was privileged to speak at the ABA TechShow, which was recently held in Chicago. TechShow is the "World's Premier Legal Technology Conference & Expo," and it truly is an honor that I was asked to speak again this year.
I was invited to speak at both sessions of the (second and hopefully now annual) Mac Track: "Got Apple Envy? Macs in a PC World" (with David Sparks) and "Mac@Trial" (with Brett Burney). I also served on the panel of the iPhone roundtable discussion: "Is that an iPhone in Your Pocket?" (with Reid Trautz and David Sparks).
There were a large number of Macs in each of all of the sessions this year, which supports my belief that Macs are gaining an ever-increasing market share among attorneys. Hopefully, the Planning Board for next year's TechShow will give the Mac Track an expanded and/or more prominent presence, particularly since it is made up of so many Mac users.
In case you were not able to attend, one of the attendees at the "Got Apple Envy? Macs in a PC World" session has posted the video excerpt below, in which I am discussing the various ways to run Windows on Macs. I hope that you enjoy it and that you will consider attending TechShow 2010.
Today, I had the pleasure to speak at Law Tech 2009 :: Marketing, Management and Technology Solutions for Your Firm, sponsored by the Tennessee Bar Association. Specifically, I participated in the panel discussion on "Macs for Lawyers" along with Caesar Cirigliano, Eddie Davidson, Jim Moore, and Steve Weaver. We had a good crowd and I believe that everyone enjoyed this session. Thanks to the Tennessee Bar for inviting me back to speak again this year.
