But the tag line says “What you need to know before you scream ‘I Quit,’ get fired, or decide to sue the bastards,”  so today’s blog features some great posts on employment law.  It’s published by Donna Ballman, an employee-side employment lawyer and author.  Some of her recent posts have covered topics like Lies Your Employer Tells You, You Have the Right to Say No, and whether journalists are exempt from overtime. Good stuff.

For those lawyers who want to use technology in the courtroom at hearings or in trial, the iPad has really helped to level the playing field.  You can now go into court with nearly your entire case on a slim tablet – depositions, exhibits, legal research, and you can also use the device to take notes and keep track of trial testimony.

I’m thrilled to announce that my latest book, iPad in One Hour for Litigators, is now available for purchase in the ABA Bookstore, and soon in the iBookstore.  Like my other “One Hour” books, you can probably read the entire book in an hour; to do everything I mention in the book will take you a lot more than one hour, because I mention a lot of things that lawyers can do to more effectively use the iPad in litigation matters.  I approached the book much as I would approach a new case, and explored the different types of apps you can use for each phase:

  • A New Case – Managing Details and Deadlines
  • Discovery – Documents and Depositions
  • Preparing for Trial with the Right Accessories
  • Legal Research on your iPad
  • Picking a Jury, iPad Style
  • Evidence Presentation
  • Tips for Using the iPad in Court – advice from lawyers who are using the iPad in the courtroom every day

I tried to mention all of the apps currently on the market that are worth a look – but as is the nature of technology, new apps continue to appear that can help a lawyer at trial.  I’ll try to mention new apps I like here on the blog, and keep you up to date on improvements made to apps described in the book.

I hope you enjoy the book!

Philbin, a San Antonio, Texas lawyer.  Some of the recent posts discussed topics like large law.  As a curated blog, Philbin doesn’t create any of the content himself – he’s gathering content from around the web so you can read it all in one place.  There are recent stories in the areas of mediation, negotiation, arbitration, and other ADR topics, but he also covers business, psychology, economics, and neuroscience topics as well.
