Online marketing 101: privacy and technical know-how (part 1 of 3)

Sam Glover — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:15:06 +0000

By now, most attorneys are at least thinking about marketing their practice online, if not doing it in some fashion already. But “online marketing” is a concept so vague it is completely unhelpful. Online marketing encompasses everything from websites to social networking sites to chat rooms. Much online marketing is similar to offline marketing, but [...]

My timekeeping and accounting solution

Sam Glover — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 03:55:07 +0000

My wife commented yesterday that it has been a long time since she heard me complaining about my timekeeping and accounting software. It’s true. I hadn’t realized how much less frustration I have since I ditched Time Matters and Billing Matters Plus for good. Instead, I am using a combination of spreadsheets and simple but [...]

Top 5 free, open source applications for lawyers

Sam Glover — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 01:57:58 +0000

Free is better, and open source is superior. There are fantastic free and open source alternatives to the software lawyers use every day. Here are my top 5 most valuable free applications for lawyers: 1. OpenOffice.org Office 2007 is pretty, but from a user perspective, it is an upgrade hardly worth the pricetag. Plus, Microsoft’s [...]

Mission: portable law office

Sam Glover — Thu, 10 May 2007 06:37:52 +0000

I am going to be taking my first vacation since going solo this Friday, and I’m a bit nervous. About my cases, that is. Since I have no support staff, if something comes up (despite my careful preparation), there isn’t anyone who can pick up the slack. So I need to be able to check [...]

If you got here from the CLE earlier today, I promised I would post the links to software, hardware, and services mentioned during the CLE. Here they are, after the jump. Also, here is a previous post, “Learning to use your file system.” I touched briefly on this in the CLE, but 90% of what [...]

My del.icio.us bookmarks

Sam Glover — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 02:59:24 +0000

In addition to this blog, if you are looking to add some useful links to your bookmarks, I usually tag particularly useful links and add them to my del.icio.us page. If you aren’t hip with the latest Web 2.0, del.icio.us is a bookmark-sharing website. I like to use it to store useful links that I [...]

What is the point of technology?

Sam Glover — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 14:13:15 +0000

Unless you have a Gizmodo-esque fetish for gadgets and gizmos, you may wonder why you need to get tech’d up. And you do. Efficiency. The practice of law is changing, especially for solo and small firm practioners. The large-overhead model law office, with a receptionist, legal secretary or paralegal, a lot of paper, and dictation/transcription [...]
