Liz, Kathy, Michelle S. and I attended the LMA NY Chapter luncheon yesterday entitled, "The Law Firm of the Future."

However, this presentation was not about anything technological. ... Read more

I read the news that Newsweek is being sold with a combination of disappointment and acceptance. Yes, while we have witnessed in recent years the sale and closure of many magazines and newspapers, somehow I didn’t think Newsweek would fall to the same sad fate. Its regular arrival at my house on Monday seemed to encapsulate what was on the nation’s collective mind. ... Read more

Social Media Raises Familiar Questions for Law Firms

Authored by: Jay Jaffe | February 4, 2010
Post a Comment
I recently spoke at a state Continuing Legal Education program about how law firms prepare social media policies. At the end of the program, during the traditional question-and-answer period, one hand shot up in the back of the room, and I was immediately transferred back in time with a question that was déjà vu all over again. ...

I just purchased a new Amazon-created Kindle electronic reader. I'm optimistic about the possibility of the device - and the e-readers that are expected to follow -- to help keep people reading the news, but will they be able to save the much-beleaguered newspaper?

It's Earth Day, and a perfect time to talk about how law firms can be more green. Here's the trend we forecast: law firms going virtual.
