I have been in the process of moving homes for the last month, which is the primary cause of my having so few posts.  Hopefully,… Continue Reading

I am heading to Tucson, AZ today to attend the American Bar Association Law Practice Management Section Fall Meeting at the The Westin La Paloma Resort.  I was recently appointed to serve as an advisor to the Technology Core Group and a board member of the Law Practice Today webzine, and both of these groups… Continue Reading

So I’m reading the April/May 2008 issue of the ABA’s Law Practice magazine over the weekend, and what do I see on page 21 but the following: TheMacLawyer.com is a must-read blog for anyone using a Mac in the legal environment.  It’s written by ABA TechShow speaker Ben Stevens.
