Building Bridges to Practices

Continuing my live-blogging from International Legal Technology Association’s Annual Conference. . . .

Fire the Technology Committee

Continuing my live-blogging from International Legal Technology Association’s Annual Conference. . . . Let’s see, what qualifies someone for membership on a firm’s technology committee? Desire for an Apple iPhone? Having assembled an Altair computer in 1975? Having a son-in-law in the computer business? Technology committees are notorious for their ineffectiveness. We’ll do our best [...]
