DennisKennedy.blogLegal Technology, Technology Law and Other MusingsTalking Legal Tech- June 26, 2008 Last night, I had a great time doing a presentation on legal technology for a practice management class at St. Louis U. Law School. As an aside, I love the idea of law schools experimenting with practice management courses. One of my favorite parts of the recent Missouri Solo and Small Firm Conference was the presence of a good number of law students from different Missouri law schools who attended the conference in connection with summer classes. I enjoyed getting some of their...http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/2008/06/talking_legal_tech.html Six Steps to Becoming a Google Master- June 26, 2008 I'm surprised how often I hear lawyers say that they want a document management, knowledge management, you-fill-in-the-blank program "to work just like Google." As regular readers of this blog know, I don't fall into that camp. I have been known to mention that I'd like advanced search tools from Recommind, Attenex, DolphinSearch and others to come in personal versions that individuals (oh, say, like me, for example) could use. My own private opinions about Google search aside (I might...http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/2008/06/six_steps_to_becoming_a_google_master.html An Illustration of the Beyond Bullet Points Approach to Presentations- June 17, 2008 I'm back home after having a great time at the bigger and better than ever Missouri Bar Solo and Small Firm Conference. It once again lived up to its reputation as the premier conference of its kind in the US. But don't take my word - just count the number of people from other state bars who come every year to learn ways to improve their own conferences. I may do a blog post or two later this week about my experiences there. Today, I thought it might be interesting to share some details...http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/2008/06/an_illustration_of_the_beyond_bullet_points_a.ht...

A Quick Intro to SharePoint for Lawyers - My Latest ABA Journal Column- June 4, 2008 Several years ago, I was at the ILTA conference in Phoenix. I wanted to attend a presentation on Microsoft SharePoint, but found that the room was standing room only and people were standing outside the door to listen to the presentation. Now, I'm known for being able to spot trends and look at the future of technology in the practice of law, but this was easy to see as a legal tech trend to watch. In Tom Mighell's and my new book, The Lawyer's Guide to Collaboration Tools and...http://www.denniskennedy.com/blog/2008/06/a_quick_intro_to_sharepoint_for_lawyers_my_la.ht... |
