Do Lawyers Need a Digital Detox? Very Likely

February 21, 2018

Excerpt: There are very few lawyers who seem to have control over their digital devices. To the contrary, the devices themselves seem to be in control, demanding the nearly non-stop attention of lawyers. It might seem odd to hear two geeks talk about digital detoxing, but we recognized the need for it years ago. Perhaps, as geeks, we were on the bleeding edge of this phenomenon.

Author Nelson was not pleased that author Simek could not have dinner in a nice restaurant with his wife without regularly checking his phone. That was the beginning. In time, marital negotiations (and renegotiations) resulted in some rules! Our phones may be in our pockets but they are not invited to participate in nice dinners. Our phones, unless an emergency is in progress, are not checked after dinner. And our phones charge in the family room – they are not permitted in the bedroom. The majority of lawyers do have their phones charging in their bedroom on their bedside tables – or, worse yet, in their beds.

ABA Releases 2018 Legal Technology Guide

February 20, 2018

The American Bar Association (ABA) has recently released The 2018 Solo and Small Firm Legal Technology Guide: Critical Decisions Made Simple. Written by Sensei’s Sharon Nelson, John Simek, and Michael Maschke, the eleventh edition of this annual guide offers the latest information and recommendations on computers, servers, networking equipment, mobile devices, legal software, printers, security products, and anything a solo lawyer or a small law office might need.
Specific topics covered in the 2018 Legal Technology Guide include:
  • An overview of current best-of- breed and budget friendly legal technology products
  • Legal productivity software
  • A guide to backing up your data – for business continuity reasons and to protect yourself against ransomware
  • A look at the growing popularity of Office 365
  • Data security – what reasonable measures should you be taking in light of the new ethics rules?
  • Cloud computing pros and cons
  • Where the legal technology world will be in 2018 and beyond
“This book represents a bit of a change,” says Sharon Nelson. “Our readers asked for a leaner version of the book, focused on essential legal tech – and that is what we have tried to deliver. One of our peer reviewers remarked that he enjoyed this year’s edition more than any edition with the exception of the first edition – so I think we may stay with the condensed format, which is less overwhelming no doubt!”
The book is priced at $89.95 ($67.46 for members of the ABA’s Law Practice Division) and is available through the ABA’s website store here.

Sensei Article Featured in Wyoming Lawyer

February 15, 2018

“Are Alexa and Her Friends Safe to Use in Your Law Office?” by Sensei’s Sharon Nelson and John Simek was featured in the February 2018 edition of the Wyoming Lawyer Magazine. The Wyoming Lawyer Magazine is a publication of the Wyoming State Bar.

Excerpt: Alexa is just one of the virtual assistants available for lawyers today. There’s also Google Home/Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana and Samsung’s Bixby on the Galaxy S8 and S8+. Siri was the first on the market but has rapidly lost ground to Alexa and Google Assistant, the two big players in the virtual assistant offerings. Google has the advantage for research since it has access to the power of Google search. Alexa is a better integration device, especially with the addition of “skills” that allow it to connect to other services and apps. Bixby is the newest player in the virtual assistant space and promises to have some unique features that don’t exist in the others. One such feature is the ability to take a picture of something in a foreign language (e.g. road sign, business advertisement, etc.) and Bixby will translate it for you.

Legal Talk Network Posts New Digital Edge Podcast

February 14, 2018

Not all legal disputes require the input of a lawyer. Some don’t even need the input of a human. Online dispute resolution (ODR), or the use of technology to solve basic disputes, is considered by some to be an access to justice solution. In this episode of The Digital Edge, hosts Sharon Nelson and Jim Calloway talk to Colin Rule about how ODR works and its potential to fill access to justice needs. They also discuss where ODR originally came from, the difference between between ODR and alternative dispute resolution, and how mobile access will expand the use of this technology.
