Law and Technology Homepage
The Law Office Technology Homepage
Of all the "learned professions," law is the one profession that seems to benefit most from the judicious use of computers and information technology.
Ironically, many lawyers and law firms are still (shall we say) a bit behind when it comes to anything more complex than a touch-tone telephone.
In the interest of doing our little part to help the legal profession bridge that gap, we have brought you this Law Office Technology Homepage, which is sponsored by Dana Shultz & Associates, a technology consulting firm that empowers lawyers and law firms to use technology in ways that work for them.
Most of these articles are brand new, a few are a couple of years old, but they are all relevant and useful, and new articles will appear here on a regular basis. Keep watching this space.
