Below you'll find the official results and complete list of winners and finalists for the 2005 TechnoLawyer @ Awards. Congratulations to all! And thank you for voting!
The One @ Award that We Chose ...
You voted for 24 of the 25 @ Awards, so there is one you don't know about.
We have selected Bryan Sims as TechnoLawyer of the Year! Every year, we bestow this @ Award on a practicing lawyer who makes extensive use of technology in their practice, and who shares their expertise with the legal community at large. Bryan perfectly fits this description.
Bryan practices civil and appellate litigation at James, Gustafson and Thompson in Chicago. He is a member of the Illinois State Bar Association and the American Bar Association, and of course TechnoLawyer.
Since 1998, Bryan has contributed 26 Posts to TechnoLawyer, including classics such as "The Power of a Wireless Telephone in Modern Litigation Practice," "How I Communicate v. How I Want to Communicate," "How Lawyers Find Local Counsel in 2004," and just last week "Getting the Most Out of Stamps.com." Keep an eye out for Bryan's future Posts — they are always informative and well-written.
Congratulations Bryan!
The @ Awards that You Chose ...
If you think you already know the results thanks to our interim raw vote counts, guess again. Thanks to a ton of votes the last few days, several upsets occurred.
In reviewing the results below, please keep in mind that the TechnoLawyer @ Awards is not a popularity contest. It does not necessarily reflect market share or readership. Instead, the @ Awards reflects loyalty — people, products, services, blogs, and Web sites that have a very loyal following. Loyalty typically stems from excellence, which explains why so many law firms use the TechnoLawyer @ Awards as a buying guide.
