DRI's Technology Committee just released its biannual newsletter, which can be downloaded from the DRI website. The newsletter contains alot of useful information for practitioners trying to streamline their practices and incorporate today's ever changing technological advancements into their practice. This most recent issue contains informative articles about using technology to maximize productivity and reduce overhead expenditures, innovative ways to improve the efficiency of your legal research, and increasing the effectiveness of your opening statement and closing argument through the use of Microsoft PowerPoint or Corel Presentations. These articles will educate you on new software that is available to capture billable time out of the office and minimize expenses by utilizing free or inexpensive online collaboration services; teach you about Firefox, CiteGenie and Zotero as research tools; and give you a new perspective on tools you may already use when it comes to visual presentations.
We are also pleased to announce that the Technology Committee will be presenting Using Technology To Your Advantage At Trial: A Case Study In A Hurricane Katrina Insurance Case at this year's Annual Meeting in Chicago. Our newsletter has an inside look at that presentation as well. This is a can't miss presentation that you will find both informative and entertaining!
If you find the information in our newsletter useful, we encourage you to join our committee and stay informed of the cutting edge in legal technology.
