Sixty Web Sites for the Lawyer
Unfortunately, recovery from surgery kept me from attending the 2007 ABA TechShow. It is the first I’ve missed in a long time, and the reports are that the sessions were exceptionally strong this year. The session titled “60 Sites in 60 Minutes” included www.morepartnerincome.com among its short “Hall of Fame” List. Here is the Hall of Fame list for 2007 as it appears on the ABA TechShow web site:
- www.lawmemo.com/SCT/: Covering all U.S. Supreme Court cases, this new feature compiles information and commentary into a resource that houses virtually everything you might want to know about a case. The front page lists all cases on the court's docket. Each case is linked to its own omnibus page. The page includes a plain-English summary of the case, the questions presented and links to blog commentary, the lower-court opinions, the oral argument transcript, all briefs, the decision when issued, counsel for each party and outside resources.
- thomas.loc.gov/: This is an oldie but goodie, and it just keeps getting better. I've always used this site to watch Congress and the progress of legislation, but the site now carries links to the Constitution, access to Committee reports, treaties, the U.S. Code, government legal resources, and even webcasts from the Library of Congress.
- www.morepartnerincome.com: A fantastic website/blog updated every day with a variety of information related to increasing law firm partner income and business intelligence tools.
- blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/:An entire blog devoted to using Adobe Acrobat in a legal environment. Rick Borestein's blog is becoming THE go-to place for questions law firms have about their digital documents
- www.72hours.org/index.html: San Francisco has done a bang-up job of compiling a simple guide to common disasters and the questions they give rise to. Is your family prepared for floods, terrorist attacks, or long-term power outages? An excellent starting point.
For the complete list of 60 sites plus some additional bonus sites, go to the ABA TechShow web site and select the menu item 60 sites 60.
