Internet Newsletter for Lawyers & Law 2.0 and how to subscribe The July/August issue is available now and the September/October issue will be available soon! The Newsletter provides an up to date overview of "what is important for lawyers on the web". It covers the legal resources available on the web (for free or on a subscription basis) and what lawyers are doing themselves on the web - marketing themselves from their web sites, selling legal services online and just improving their existing services to clients by use of the internet. It covers Law 2.0 (how Web 2.0 affects the Law) and explains how lawyers can get ahead of the game with these new developments. It is a very practical "how to do it" sort of newsletter - and very useful. |

Legal Web 2010/2011: Modern Practice Topics for Solicitors - a new ebook with CPD
by Nick Holmes and Delia Venables. You can gain 5 CPD hours from the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Note - this ebook is not for Barristers. Now available! The traditional law firm is changing rapidly at the moment or, to put it another way, the traditional law firm, in order to be successful in the modern world, is having to change rapidly. Clients no longer come to the firm because they always have always done so – they are looking for not only the traditional skills of being a lawyer, but also indications that the lawyer, and the firm, is open to new ideas, is working in a modern and responsive way and – perhaps most important of all – is using whatever means are practicable to keep costs down. If the local firm does not satisfy those criteria, the potential client will look around, will ask friends and relatives, and will search the internet. This course gives a firm some of the information, the tools and even the weapons to fight in this war, and to win often enough to survive and prosper. An outright win is no longer possible – staying in the game with reasonable success and a positive outlook is probably all that can be achieved and is certainly a worthwhile aim to be getting on with. |

Work Out What Legal Software You Need!
I have been a computer consultant giving advice to lawyers for quite a few years and a creator and editor
of various publications related to the Internet for Lawyers. Details of my experience are given
here.I have spent a great deal of time looking at software for lawyers - particularly solicitors. I feel that I have a pretty good idea of what software works, and what does not work, for solicitors. This section includes descriptions of all the key software for lawyers. |
