The Tech Savvy Lawyer

Billy is a co-founder and managing partner at Planet Depos. Planet Depos is an international court reporting, interpretation, and trial services provider. (Full disclosure: I have used them myself since their inception 11 years ago!). Billy and I discuss given the COVID and Shelter at Home Orders how are law firms/attorneys pivoting to continue their practice from home; technologically speaking, what sets PD out from its competitors; and how does PD see court function's, e.g., hearings, trials, arguments, depositions, etc. changing in the future post COVID?

Judge Dixon and I continue our discussion of his observations from the bench. In this part, we discuss where he has seen attorneys make critical errors of their use of technology in the courtroom.

Join Niki and I as we discuss how attorneys are underutilizing remote work in this time of COVID; how lawyer client relation management programs like MyCase help attorneys work remotely; and how she sees the practice of law changing in the future with "Shelter-in-Place" becoming the new norm.

In this episode, I talk with Dan Culhane, the owner of Discovery Genie. Dan and I discuss how his computer product helps attorneys of any firm size save time and money with discovery production for small- and mid-size cases. I think the listener will enjoy learning how to advance and simplify discovery production and case preparation while saving time and money. Both are recouped from having to manually create pdfs of files, notes, e-mails (and their attachments) and having to indexing their contents without the need for the larger and more expensive document production software. Enjoy!

Join us as Megan and I talk about the ethical obligations attorneys face with our use of technology in the legal arena, especially now as the profession is adjusting to working from home, given the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic.
