Client Intelligence: IT, Marketing and Library Services Unite
August 01, 2003
As a futurist to what law firms need to be thinking about, I am always excited about "out of the box" methodologies that can impact the marriage of technology, research and marketing.

And it appears that new controversies are arising faster than judicial consensus can form. One of the latest controversies surrounds "screen scraping," a process by which a software program simulates a user's interaction with a Web site to access information stored on that site.
