There was no doubt in my mind that there would be many, many iPads floating around the Aria Hotel and Casino at the 2010 ILTA Conference. We saw the writing on the wall in the days and weeks before the conference when it seemed like almost every vendor offered a chance to win one of the magical devices if you stopped by their booth in the exhibit hall.
What I did not expect to see was the huge number of pre-prize iPads in the clutches of what seemed like every fourth or fifth conference-goer. I’m sure my estimates are a little off, but suffice to say that iPads were everywhere. Continue reading »

According a TheLayer.com article, Eversheds eschews BlackBerry in favour of iPad, the UK firm “has launched a two-month pilot with around 50 members of its senior staff called Eversheds Anywhere, in which they will test out” the iPad.
iPadLawyer has also posted some additional information about this development. Read it here: More on Eversheds and the iPad

WikiHow — the online how to manual that people can edit — has posted instructions on How to Put Attachment Clips on an iPad Case so that you can wear your wonderful device.
While I don’t expect many lawyers to start wearing their iPads around their necks while addressing a jury or client, I do see a use for this hack. In fact, I expect to see many legal vendors wearing iPads to hawk their wares in Las Vegas at the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) Conference (Aug 22- 27, 2010).
iPads are the perfect portable sales companion. First Continue reading »

You’ve probably never heard of Jim Lefkowitz, Esq. That’s because he’s not a lawyer, but plays one on TV. Well, sort of.
Jim is the fictional lawyer to Ari Gold and his agency on the HBO series Entourage.
It seems that in the Entourage episode “Hair,” which aired today, Ari’s former employee, Lizzie, is threatening a lawsuit for wrongful termination.
With all that as irrelevant background, the point is, even fake lawyers are using iPads. Mr. Lefkowitz actually brings his iPad to client meetings (apparently for note taking). As you can see from the picture, he also uses the iPad keyboard dock.
Do you know a real lawyer who uses the iPad in practice? If so, let us know. We’d love to chat with them.

Fastcase, the free source for caselaw and statutes, which had only been available on the iPhone/iPod Touch, is now available on the iPad.
The app is well done with a nice interface. Searches execute quickly and results are presented clearly and intuitively. You can search caselaw by jurisdiction and date range, and sort search results by relevance and decision date. See the screen shot below where I searched for my name (how vain!). Continue reading »

As you may know from my previous post about the Power Support iPad Film Screen Protector, I am a big fan of that product. I have one on my iPad and I am not about to remove it. So this review is not of the actual iLuv iPad Screen Protector, it is of that product’s little sibling, the iLuv Clear Scratch-proof Screen Protector Kit for iPhone 4. Continue reading »

CNN Politics has an interesting story about how recently-elected Republican Rep. Charles Djou of Hawaii was the first ever Member of Congress to use an iPad on the floor during a speech.
Also of note is that Djou makes great use of the iPad to review briefing books and policy papers during his 12 hour flight back to his home state of Hawaii. One concern, however, is that Djou may have violated “House rules [that] prohibit laptops but allow BlackBerrys and other PDA’s.” It is unclear where the the magical-and-revolutionary-product-at-an-unbelievable-price (aka iPad) fits in on that list of devices.
Hat tip to @KGWalshNJ for pointing me to the story.
