Apps That Make Me Happy

January 17, 2013

On Wednesday, I attended Thomson Reuters’ day-long series of product and strategy presentations, which have been discussed nicely by Bob Ambrogi, Monica Bay, and Jean O’Grady. Rest assured, I’ll have my own shill-free posts next week on what I saw, heard, and didn’t hear. But for the time being, I wanted to pick up on something [...]

Content is no longer king: the slow death (maybe) of Matthew Bender

January 17, 2013

With the news today that Thomson Reuters is evolving away from “content is king,” it perhaps comes as no surprise that LexisNexis will take the next 18 months or so to shutter the Matthew Bender corporate offices in Albany, NY.

Citators & Compliance Algorithms: Some questions for the future. **UPDATED**

January 13, 2013

I read with some interest last week Carole Levitt and Mark Rosch’s paper Are all Citator Services Created Equal? A Comparison of Google Scholar, Fastcase, Casemaker, LexisNexis, WestlawNext, and Bloomberg (link to pdf). Their reasons for testing the services interested me because it dovetailed with some thoughts on citators I’ve been screwing around with. Here’s how [...]

[Un]expected legal technology trends for 2013

January 2, 2013

Monica Bay has posted LTN’s poll of numerous legal technology geeks on the question of “What do you predict will be the most unexptected legal technology development or trend in 2013, and why?”  (Spoiler alert: predictive coding.) One of my favorite responses was given by fellow Texan, Craig Ball: [T]he most unexpected legal technology trend in 2013 [...]

Outside, looking in: my observations about ABA Tech Show 2012

April 9, 2012

You cannot swing a digital cat without hitting an ABA Tech Show 2012 blog review or takeaway.  I particularly enjoyed the vendor posts that relished in the idea that they were pioneers in the cloud space, as if being a “pioneer” was a bellwether for future success. Whatever, here are the major points being made by [...]

I’m Jason in a robot suit, and I’ll be at ABA Tech Show

March 9, 2012

By Jason Wilson It’s not confirmed yet, but I may be in a robot suit for Ben Stein’s key note. Why, you ask? Because the show is about technology and the future, and what says “technology” more than a robot? Exactly. Nothing. Now, speaking of Ben Stein speaking, the conference literature says that “Ben is [...]

September 6, 2011

By Jason Wilson The first of two posts on disruption is up on Slaw.ca today: The Rise of the Programmers. I enjoyed Toby Brown’s initial take on it via Twitter today: http://twitter.com/#!/gnawledge/status/111138285023272960 [Image (CC) by Frenkieb]

Read this: The Lanier Effect.

August 31, 2011

By Jason Wilson There isn’t much I can say other than telling you to put aside about 20 to 30 minutes with a cocktail and read (or listen) to Jaron Lanier extend his thoughts on ”Digital Maoism: The Hazards of the New Online Collectivism” in his most recent conversation for Edge. From the interview (per John [...]
