Don’t Quite Understand Net Neutrality Repeal? Let Burger King Explain It Though Whoppers
Yes. You read the title correctly. Sometimes, it takes not getting your Whopper in a timely fashion to understand a complex topic like Net Neutrality.
The repeal of Net Neutrality was something that many of us fought to prevent, and denounced when the FCC went against public comment and repealed in December. Yet there are
Four REAL Ways that Law Firms Are Using Technology For Exposure and Efficiency

His insight and valuable contributions balance my own questionable efforts. After today, the ABAs Law Technology Today is in desperate need of

UPDATE: Woo Hoo!! Thanks to the amazing readers of 3 Geeks, we are now leading the voting in this award category.

Legal Bytes is the world’s only band made up entirely of current and former Chief Information Officers from law firms. At this year’s ILTA conference, Legal Bytes will actually be releasing a 12-song CD of
