BlawgWorld 2007 eBook is eAwesome

Technolawyer publisher, Neil Squillante has hit a homerun with the launch of his latest eBook, BlawgWorld 2007. This free downloadable book is a hand-selected collection of 77 essays from around the world of legal blawging, including a post from yours truly.  While I am humbled to be a part of this landmark publication, I am more excited that I can finally sit down and read the best of the best bloggers all in one place. I am just a fraction of the way through the 77 essays, but they are extremely insightful and full of interesting and valuable opinions, ideas, and innovations. 

What may be even more helpful to many readers is the companion 2007 TechnoLawyer Problem/Solution Guide that accompanies the download. This guide is in a unique question and answer format that provides guidance and a link to vendors and consultants who can help solve the technoIssues that impact most law firm in the US and Canada. 

Congratulations to Neil, editor Sara Skiff, and to all the essayists included in the eBook.

Levitt & Rosch Launch New Internet Newsletter for Lawyers

Carole Levitt and Mark Rosch, authors of The Lawyer's Guide to Fact-Finding on the Internet, have launched a newsletter to help lawyers locate information integral to their client's cases. Like the book, the semi-monthly publication includes web sites that are useful for investigations, depositions, and trial preparation, as well as company and medical research, gathering competitive intelligence, finding expert witnesses, and fact checking of all kinds. As an added bonus, the four-color newsletter also will include legal technology Web sites, legal research Web sites, search engines, public records, and various tech tips, according to publisher, ALI-ABA.

I not only have the last two editions of their book, but I just received the first issue of their terrific newsletter. I still don't know where they find all this good stuff! I could spend hours searching Google or Vivisimo and still not locate the free and low-cost information that Carole and Mark find.  That's why they are so good at their jobs, and why the newsletter is worth every cent of the subscription price!

Thoughtful Legal Management

Congratulations to David Bilinsky for launching his blawg, Thoughtful Legal Management. I've known David for many years, and find his financial management and technology articles, presentations, and musings, to be exceptional. In fact, his recent article co-authored with Dan Pinnington is a must-read. I am pleased to add Dave's blawg to my blogroll and my iGoogle page for regular reading.
