It is probably just an odd coincidence that the two top things that caught my eye were legal innovations out of Arizona, the same week when I am going to Arizona for a weekend getaway with my lovely wife. But is seems that the weather is not the only hot thing happening in The Grand
What. Just. Happened? (Week of 09-23-2024)
This week featured a “Proud Parent” moment for myself as I watched my son, Dean, go to his first legal technology conference in Chicago. Dean was a Relativity Scholar this year and has been working on learning the ropes in e-discovery for the past few months. It is exciting to watch as a new generation…
What. Just. Happened? (Week of 09-16-2024)
It’s that time of year when not only has Summer decided to make one last appearance, but so have legal conferences. Legal Value Network’s LVNx, Legal Technology Hub, Legal Marketing Association’s Northeast Region, i.WILL + SIM, Women’s Bar Association of the District of Columbia, just to name the ones that are…
What. Just. Happened? (Week of 09-09-2024)
It’s Friday the 13th, so hopefully everyone left cookies and milk out for Jason Vorhees last night to keep him happy.
This week saw a few “launches” of new and updated products, primarily dealing with integrating AI agents into their products. OpenAI learned how many r’s there are in strawberry, vLex turned Vincent AI into…
What. Just. Happened? (Week of 09-02-2024)
As many of us come off the high of hanging out and talking AI at ILTA, there seems to be a push this week in the articles for AI tools to “show me what you’ve done for me lately?” This makes sense that once you get back to the office and need to show existing…
What. Just. Happened? (Pre-Three-Day Weekend Edition. Week of 08-26-2024)
Many of us in the United States are hitting the road/airport this weekend to get in the last bit of Summer. For Texans like me, we’ll still have some hot weather for the next few weeks, but eventually it will cool down and remind us that Mid-September through Mid-May is really why we put up…
What. Just. Happened? (Post-ILTACon Emails Week of 08-19-2024)
Perhaps one of the things that we don’t think about when we are at conferences like ILTACon, is the amount of emails we get post-conference. Most of mine this week start with “sorry we didn’t connect at ILTACon, but here’s your opportunity to talk with me about the product you ignored and are probably regretting…
What. Just. Happened. (ILTACON Edition week of 2024-08-12)
Getting home last night (actually early this morning) from #ILTACON24, I had a chance to finally catch my breath. I flew into Nashville early on Monday to catch the keynote, Hannah Fry explain that the single most human word that differentiates us from the machines is “POOP.” This made the 13-year-old boy in me very…
What. Just. Happened. (Week of August 2, 2024)
If you’re like me, your in-box (and SPAM filter) were packed with ILTA messages to come visit vendors at booth #XXX. It is amazing how many vendors and legal tech folks who are going to be there and vying for your attention next week. I have to say that my calendar is packed, and that’s…
What. Just. Happened. (Week of July 29, 2024)
This was one of those weeks where I had to decide whether to scroll through a few hundred/thousand emails, or just declare email bankruptcy after spending the previous week in Chicago at the AALL Conference. I won’t say exactly what I did… but, I will say it was the faster of the two decisions. ILTACon…
