Originally published in the July 24, 2012 issue of SmallLaw: The legal pad started dying long before the iPad arrived. But the iPad may kill what killed legal pads — letter size paper and laptops. In this issue of SmallLaw, legal technology consultant and iPad trainer Brett Burney reviews three iPad apps that enable you to take notes and automatically record audio and sync it to your notes. This way, you can play back what someone said when you jotted something down. For the first time in this series, Brett issues a split opinion in his iVerdict with two winners depending on your needs. Also, don't miss the SmallLaw Pick of the Week for a review of Kensington's new Virtuoso Pro Fine Tip Stylus, which you can use with the notetaking apps Brett reviews.

Originally published in the June 12, 2012 issue of SmallLaw: Howard Stern can help your law career. As a summer associate, TechnoLawyer publisher Neil Squillante listened to Howard every morning while commuting. A partner at the firm was a fan so each day he would swing by Neil's office to discuss that morning's show. It never hurts to have a kindred spirit among the partnership. But after you score a job, you need to earn your keep. Listening to talk radio won't help you bill hours. In this issue of SmallLaw, appellate lawyer and Pennsylvania legal technology specialist Joshua Auriemma explains how you can prepare your documents so that you can listen to them during your commute — and leave the office earlier as a result. Also, don't miss the SmallLaw Pick of the Week for lessons from a law firm web site redesign, including before and after screenshots.

Originally published in the August 13, 2012 issue of LitigationWorld: "I want to use my last peremptory challenge for him. No, wait! I mean her." The perils of jury selection. One dropped or misplaced stickie note can wreak havoc. Because litigators often conduct voir dire while standing, the iPad is better-suited for this process than a laptop and less prone to human error than old school methods. In this issue of LitigationWorld, litigation technology consultant Brett Burney reviews the three leading jury selection apps and declares his iVerdict. Also, don't miss the LitigationWorld Pick of the Week for research on how people (such as jurors) perceive men (such as you) based on their hair or lack thereof.

Originally published in the February 21, 2012 issue of SmallLaw: Like Matthew McConaughey in The Lincoln Lawyer, some lawyers practice out of their automobile. But even if you work out of an office, you probably practice on the go sometimes. In this issue of SmallLaw, law practice advisor Erik Mazzone discusses five products that will enable you to sign up new clients, draft documents, and get paid from your car, your office, a courthouse, or ideally a beach somewhere warm. Also, don't miss the SmallLaw Pick of the Week for a law firm that looks to plumbing companies as a model (we kid you not).
