iPad for Lawyers

Been playing with the iPad for a few hours to see how well it will work as a presentation tool – not happy with the comments that I have read in the Keynote app ratings.

Have to commend MacLitigator, Tablet Legal and Legal iPad on their iPad in the Legal Profession coverage.

iPad specific apps that I have downloaded and like so far are Adobe Ideas, Evernote, twitterific, notes, ibooks, and gmail renders beautifully in Safari on the iPad.

Some that I need to take a further look at include Keynote, offline pages, goodreader, and penultimate.

Community on the title of Doctor

Community is currently my second favorite show on television and I find the writing sharp and witty. Reminds me of my study groups while in Law school actually, which is probably why I like it so much.

Anyway, in the law profession there’s a continuing conversation about titles and what you can call yourself, especially in light of the fact that you have earned a Juris Doctor or Doctor of Law degree… are you Dr. Kevin or Kevin, Esq. or Kevin, J.D.?

I think Abed, who is one of the best sitcom characters ever, yeah better than Costanza, settles this issue:

  • Jeff: “and Fancy jobs don’t impress people…”
    Abed: “anyone can be a lawyer, you can even represent themself, you can’t do surgery on yourself, it’s illegal and then you get arrested and then you get a free lawyer…”

Hello 2010

Over the course of the last 5 years since this site has been on hiatus I have worked for organizations that  have had extremely restrictive social media policies. Free of those policies and back on my feet, I am hoping to resume blogging on topics of interest.
