Using Technology to be a Better Trial Lawyer
The tagline of this blog is "Using Technology to be a Better Trial Lawyer". Technology is changing the way we try cases, from projectors and ELMO's, more efficient ways to generate documents and exhibits to new research on learning, how people process information and how they make decisions.
But one of the biggest differences is the extraordinary availability of information available on the internet. Using technology can be as simple as finding a new way of communicating ideas and presenting information to a jury.
I'm a gadget freak, but I don't think gadgets are a better way to practice law. Matthew Buchanan of Promote the Progress has an excellent post about how gadgets are not the answer.
The internet has put a wealth of information at our fingertips. Information, techniques and exhibits that were only available on the biggest cases, can now be used even on small cases. It's a brave new world out there.
