2004 Legal Technology Trends: Do We Stand on the Threshold of the Next Legal Killer App? 2004 Legal Technology Trends: Do We Stand on the Threshold of the Next Legal Killer App?:"Two legal technology stories in 2003 actually shocked me. The first was finding in the AmLaw Tech survey of large law firms that some of the largest and wealthiest firms in the United States still use Office 97, now a full three generations behind Microsoft's current release. I don't know what was the bigger shock: that they still used it or that they would publicly admit to it. The second was the damage law firms suffered from Blaster and similar viruses. Blaster problems knocked out networks of some prominent firms. Because the vulnerability Blaster exploited and the fix for it were widely publicized, the impact of Blaster speaks volumes about continuing security lapses at many law firms."[Dennis Kennedy] Read this article. Then think about the impact of technology on law schools. Think about how we are or are not preparing law students for what they will face in practice. If the focus of your school's IT operation (department may be too strong a word) is keeping the email server running, changing printer cartridges, and showing faculty how to use different fonts in Wordperfect, how much are your students learning about the technology of the practce of law? Something to ponder. 8:17:07 PM  comment []

Ross Mayfield has dissected how people blog conferences (this may apply to any live blogging of events). Very nice. It really does mirror how people's brains work. Which one are you (check his site for extended descriptions)? I think I am running commentary.
Interesting. Blogging conferences really adds a different voice to the proceedings. The CALI blogging experiment last year at Duke was a success. We had a number of good bloggers turn out some good work that reflected a number of the styles noted above. 11:40:14 AM comment []

Jessica and the Chronicle of Higher Education. Jessica links to an article form the Chronicle of Higher Education on RSS. She dispels many of the misconceptions about RSS that are in the article. While author did do his homework on RSS, I'm afraid he misconstrued a lot of points that Jessica corrected. So, I'd read her comments after reading the article. [Library Stuff] 10:04:12 AM comment []
