Network-Lawyers to host 'seminars' on Web collaboration tools Starting Sept. 22, the Network-Lawyers discussion list will do something it has never done before -- host two, week-long online seminars. The two seminars will look at companion Web-based collaboration tools, QuickTopic during the week of Sept. 22 to 26, and QuickDocumentReview during the week of Oct. 6 to 10. Steve Yost, creator and provider of both tools, will participate in the panels, along with several experts (if you count me as an expert) in e-mail and Web-based collaboration and community-building for legal professionals. The seminar discussion is free and open to all legal professionals. Anyone not already a member of the Network-Lawyers list may register at the Network-Lawyers site. You can elect to participate by e-mail or via the Web. The seminar schedule, a roster of panelists, and sign-up information are available here. Wednesday, September 10, 2003
Law Practice Today gets new look, new features Law Practice Today, the monthly Webzine of the American Bar Association's Law Practice Management Section, introduced a new look and new content this month. I like the new look, and I also like the special focus of this month's issue -- gadgets. Tuesday, September 09, 2003
Dean's blogger to speak at BloggerCon Yesterday I mentioned Mathew Gross, Howard Dean's staff blogger. Today, it was announced that he's been added as a presenter at the Oct. 4-5 BloggerCon. Monday, September 08, 2003
Legal technologist launches Lawtech Guru Blog Jeffrey Beard, national practice group technology liaison at Quarles & Brady, Milwaukee, yesterday launched Lawtech Guru Blog. A well-known speaker and writer on legal technology, Jeff will be covering legal technology (of course), mobile devices, strategic planning and law practice management, Web technologies, as well as privacy and security issues and interesting blogging tips. Howard Dean's staff blogger As more and more law firms launch Web logs, I've wondered whether they will begin to hire writers to maintain them. Along those lines, I found yesterday's Boston Globe story, A hired gun who muses with fingertips, intriguing. It tells the story of Mathew Gross, 31, the former rock band drummer, Colorado River boatman, and environmental studies graduate student, who is now Howard Dean's full-time blogmaster. Will law firms soon have blogmasters of their own? Hard times selling pet food and lawyers online The Washington Business Journal reports today on the demise of Web sites devoted to providing online legal information in Failed Internet law sites guilty of too much optimism. The article features this quote from Brian Dunn, a professor at Santa Clara State University: "The Web wasn't really the place for pet food or lawyers." Making money online -- at last? Ron Friedmann blogs a story I wrote for The American Lawyer about the 50 State HIPAA Privacy Study Web site developed by Reed Smith for the Healthcare Leadership Council. The full text of the story, Making Money Online (Finally), is on the Reed Smith site. Ron says: "I think that this is a good sign that online services are still emerging and proving valuable." One clarification to Ron's note: The law firm does not share in the subscription fees; those go to the healthcare coalition that funded the site. The coalition used income from the subscriptions to pay Reed Smith's fee. |
