Criminal Defense Law With An Apple

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.

Cult of Mac provided this post on switching to Mac. The post says that they will be making this a regular feature.

Also this morning, TUAW posted about this newer blog OSXhelp. If you are a new-comer, this blog will likely provide some insights. The key here is the tag-line for the blog: “Insanely simple tutorials for the first time Macintosh user.”

It has been a great week for Mac-Lawyer Blogs. First, over at Jim Calloway’s Law Practice Tips Blog. Jim wrote this post on various sites for Mac Lawyers.

In addition, Sheryl (of Inspired Solo fame) has been doing a great, week long, posting on Macintosh in the Law Office. She also included Criminal Defense Law with an Apple in her list of blog resources. However, her list does not end there. She has a stack of helpful sites worth bookmarking so check it out.

Finally, last month I attended a Seattle bloggers event (and I am just getting around to post about it). There were many notable bloggers including:
Spam Notes
Marler Blog
Washington State Patent Law Blog
Canadian Trademark Blog
Employment Advisory Blog
Trial Ad Notes
Legal Scholarship Blog
Cases & Materials on Business Entities
China Law Blog
SEO Moz
Real Lawyers Have Blogs
Avvo Blog
Most everyone from above already posted on the event and I can’t say much more than what has already been said. However, I wanted to thank our host, Michael Atkins of Graham & Dunn for hosting the event. I also wanted to say that the event was educational and an informative gathering. It was nice to have such a diverse group of bloggers. Sounds like another event will be planned in the near future.

I came across this new blog by Peter W. Summerill, called MacLitigator. The blog looks great (further proof that I need to move off of blogger). This week, MacLitigator did a great review of Macbook Air.

It has become apparent that well over half of my regular readers are either solo’s or planning to be solo’s. If you like cruising blogs then make sure to stop by and visit fellow blogger and Mac user, Susan Cartier Liebel. For those thinking about becoming solo, this E-zine may be of interest.

Many thanks to Eric Schmidt of Mac Law Students and Ben Stevens of Mac Lawyer for including us in their Mac/Lawyer blogger line-up. Check them out, among the others.

I have enjoyed reading this blog before but I had not had a chance to see the video tutorials section. If you are interested in learning more about Keynote before your next jury trial there is some great tips.

I found yet another slick Legal/Mac blog here. This one serves the additional satisfying purpose that he shares my views on Bento in his review of the product as a Case Management tool.
