The good news is that in recent months a number of different jurisdictions have handed down ethics opinions that address remote working issues. These opinions fall into two different categories. First, there are the ethical issues related to using remote…

I write a regular legal technology column for the ABA Journal where I focus on a different type of legal software each month. 2020 was my third year covering legal software for the ABA Journal, and for my November column, I rounded up all of the legal software tools I wrote about in 2020. As I explained in the article, at the start of 2020, my plan was to re-visit the types of software I’d written about when I first started this column, since the legal technology space had changed so much during that timeframe. However, once the pandemic struck in…

If nothing else, 2020 was the harbinger of the unexpected. It seemed as if every week, and sometimes even every day, something new and surprising happened. In both personal and professional arenas, it was a year of uncertainty and unpredictability, in large part due to the pandemic. COVID-19 changed everything, and touched all aspects of our lives. Social distancing requirements and stay-at-home orders impacted our social and business interactions, dramatically affecting how and where we got work done. Also notable, was that it helped us to appreciate the many benefits of technology more than we ever have before. This was especially…

Every year the International Legal Technology Association conducts a technology survey of firms of all sizes, and the results always provide lots of interesting data on how lawyers are using technology. This year’s Survey was of particular interest due to its timing. Because it was conducted during the first few months of the pandemic, it offers useful insight into COVID-related technology trends, including the ways that law firms are using remote working tools and cloud-based legal software to continue operating despite office closures. Certainly things have changed since the early months of the pandemic, but the results of this survey…

In our live interactive Q&A session, industry experts Carolyn Elefant, Jared Correia, and Benson Varghese reflected on and provided answers around overdue foundational shifts in the legal industry and ways in which attorneys are adapting their…
