Originally published in the June 5, 2012 issue of SmallLaw: Last month, Above the Law published a series of colorful email messages sent by a (now former) lawyer at Cozen O'Connor to opposing counsel that led to a motion for sanctions. In light of this incident, we thought it would be a good idea to explore a law practice skill not taught in law school — interacting with opposing counsel. In this issue of SmallLaw, veteran litigator Kristin Branson provides five valuable tips. These pearls of wisdom will not only prevent you from being mocked on Above the Law or worse, but they will also give you a strategic advantage over opposing counsel regardless of your area of practice. Also, don't miss the SmallLaw Pick of the Week for a comparative review of the four major smartphone credit card processing apps and swipers.

Originally published in the March 29, 2012 issue of SmallLaw: The forecast for small law firm technology looks … cloudy. Bad puns aside, technology marches on as must your firm. In addition to deciding which products to use, you must now also decide between two different philosophies — cloud versus local software. For this reason, we periodically revisit this debate. In this issue of SmallLaw, we report on the current state of cloud computing in small law firms, including insightful observations from some of world's foremost legal technology experts. Also, don't miss the SmallLaw Pick of the Week for a report on aging baby boomer solos whose law practices are literally a heartbeat away from disaster.

Originally published in the February 16, 2012 issue of SmallLaw: Many solos and small-firm lawyers like you publish articles for marketing purposes, but largely waste your time because you don't understand the primary benefit of such publishing — to improve the rank of your web site in Google. In this issue of SmallLaw, TechnoLawyer publisher Neil Squillante explains how Google works, and how to use the articles you publish to improve the rank of your law firm web site in Google for search queries that people seeking a lawyer like you tend to use. If you read only one marketing article this year, read this one. Also, don't miss the SmallLaw Pick of the Week for advice on how to ensure the survival of your law firm if you experience a medical emergency.
