While I was at Ark Group conference on Law Firm Libraries in New York last week, I got to wondering what other types of non-traditional conferences were out there that I might enjoy attending. Therefore, I though it would make for a great Elephant Post question. There are a number of conferences out there that
I have the wonderful job of researching dozens (maybe hundreds?) of different legal rags everyday. There are definitely some good legal news resources out there, and we thought we’d let you share a few of your favorites with us. For example, I enjoy the Osmosys Legal Industry Monitor for generic legal news (plus it is
We’ve all probably sat through those “60 Apps in 60 Minutes” programs at a conference and watched as a bevy of applications flew past us on the screen. Those are cool, but what how many of those do we actually use when we get back to our office? So, we’ve asked you to share with
We have some interesting contributions this week on what the legal industry needs more of right now. I was a little disappointed that my friend Emily didn’t follow through on her dibs on “cowbell” – just because I really wanted her to say something like “The legal industry’s got a fever and the only prescription is more

Most of those predictions are “yawners” (such as Richard Susskind’s prediction of firms adopting more social media, adopting cloud-based apps, and using tablets… which Toby labeled as Susskind “jumping the shark” on his predictions.)
We’ve all got our heroes…Mom, Dad, or a teacher in High School are traditional ones, but how about in your profession? Who are the heroes in your profession that have changed how you look at your profession? Perhaps it isn’t even a person, but maybe some event or act from a group of people that
As Megan Wiseman tells us, we all make personal goals where we want to lose weight, workout more and be better people – but what kind of New Year’s Resolutions can we make for our professions? That is the subject of this week’s Elephant Post Question. Enjoy the contributions, and let us know if you
The year 2010 may be remembered for a lot of reason (or maybe you want to quickly forget it)… but, for me it will always be the year that the 3 Geeks’ started the Elephant Posts. As many of you may know, our best ideas are developed after a few beers and a good meal,
