2007 ABA Tech Report: Editor's Note
This month, LJN's Legal Tech Newsletter is proud to include its third annual special supplement highlighting and analyzing information from the 2007 American Bar Association Legal Technology Survey Report. The article is written by Stephen Stine, a Research Specialist for the American Bar Association's Legal Technology Resource Center. This supplement offers an insider's unique perspective into how law firms are: taking advantage of mobile technologies and wireless connections on PDAs/smartphones to browse the Web and use real-time e-mail; streamlining their document processes; making and receiving electronic discovery requests; taking advantage of Internet offerings, including 'Web 2.0' technologies; and creating and utilizing blogs.
The ABA survey includes the responses of more than 1,850 ABA members in private practice in the U.S. and offers a comprehensive look at how the legal profession uses technology. It covers issues including technology training, budgeting and hardware and software purchases, as well as where and how lawyers use technology. The survey is broken into five volumes, focusing individually on law office computing, litigation and courtroom technology, Web-based communications, online research and mobile technology. We believe it is the most comprehensive and useful tool of its kind available and hope that you find this analysis enlightening and informative.
