Criminal Defense Law With An Apple

I want to direct you to Esquire Mac Blog. The blog looks great with a wealth of useful insights.  In addition, Adam Greivell is a great writer (and veteran Mac-user) and has the inside track on a number of software apps. 

It was a great and, once again, diverse group of legal bloggers. In attendance was  Trial Ad (and Other) Notes, Copyright or Wrong, China Law Blog, Law According to Michael Rice, Employment Law Blog, Washington Employment Advisory, Speeding Ticket Blog, Seattle Trademark Lawyer, and the Avvo Blog. Topics included: the word blawg, ways we track, use and justify our blogs, the potential (or lack of potential) in twitter, the value of social networking tools, dealing with unsavory comments in the comments and more. It is a good cross-section of the blogging community and nice to share about the blogging experience. I look forward to meeting with them all again at the next gathering. 

If you live in, around or near Seattle, please come join the 2nd Seattle Law Blogger Meet-up.  Details can be found here, at Mike Atkin’s Trademark Lawyer website. The last meet-up was a lot of fun. We had a diverse crowd and it was a great opportunity to discuss blogging with your peers.

Ah, the joys of links. From my site to PDF Lawyer, to view his 10 links for PDF ideas. Great stuff.

I wanted to update both my blogs about a month ago and was searching high and low for some help. Low and behold, I discovered Blog Solace. This was a lucky find. If you are thinking of starting up a blog, wishing you could switch from blogger to Wordpress, or just need some help under the hood, drop them a line.

First, a special thanks for the mention at Trial Technologist’s View. I will be contacting Blake soon, as we have a trial coming up in May.  Ben Stevens is back from his adventures at the ABA tech conference. Ben received mention in Lawyers USA, where he plugged Rocket Matters. Speaking of online services, Mac Litigator wrote a very insightful review on the new Web-based application Trial Manager. The article goes beyond examining the product itself and takes a hard look at whether attorneys should be engaged in using these kinds of applications at all. We are all anxiously waiting the next screen cast on Daylite, from Mac Lawyer’s Notebook. To hold us over, Mac Lawyer’s Notebook reports this morning that Daylite 3.7.2 has been released. For all you scripting folks, Scripting for Lawyers is showing no signs of slowing down. What is great about this blog was the assumption that we did not know much to start (true for me). Then, as time progresses, Larry keeps piling on the learning. Mac Law Students does a great review of all the different browsers available.  

The Small Business and Solo Law Practice Blog wrote this review on MacSpeech.  While you are at the site you can listen blawggers Medina, Griffiths, Price and Stevens in their first Podcast. Nice job guys.

Here we are. What do you think of the new place?  

On the cover of this months ABA Journal is fellow Mac-blogger Ben Stevens. You can read the article on the web here. Congratulations Ben! You can also read a bit more about this on Ben’s blog here.

The ambitious folks at A Mac Lawyer’s Notebook have done a screencast this week that takes a look at Daylite. Our narrator, Kevin, is a Time Matters user and he has been making real progress in bending Daylite to his will. The screencast provides a basic overview and also looks at how to use custom forms using a third party add-on (very cool). From my own experience, I can say that any opportunity to familiarize yourself with Daylite before starting the 30 day trial is a good thing.
