iPads at ILTA (they were everywhere)

By Patrick DiDomenico News 6 Comments »

This post is cross-published at LawyerKM.

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 »

By Patrick DiDomenico News No Comments »

Will Lawyers Wear iPads?

By Patrick DiDomenico Accessories, iPad Hacks, iPads in the Wild 1 Comment »

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).

Lawyers with iPads: Jim Lefkowitz

By Patrick DiDomenico Accessories, Interviews, iPads in the Wild 1 Comment »

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.
