I am a firm believer that there can never be too many practice management resources for solo lawyers. As the name implies, solo lawyers don’t have the colleagues to help them when it comes to technology, marketing, finance, and overall management of a law practice. That’s why I was pleased and flattered to participate in
Why are Passwords So Hard for Lawyers?
The subject of passwords is one that is both fascinating and frustrating to me. We know that it’s getting easier and easier for hackers to crack our passwords; just three years ago, a nine-digit password would take 44,530 years to crack, but today that same password can be cracked in less than a day…
The Increasing Automation of Technology: A Good or Bad Thing?
The latest episode of The Kennedy-Mighell Report is called Automation or Control: Why Attorneys Must Choose (I didn’t choose the title) – in it, we discuss the fact that technology services are increasingly connecting to each other, automating things that we used to have to do ourselves. For example, my Fitbit now talks to my…

Blawg of the Day – Screw You Guys, I’m Going Home
I have to admit, when I saw the title of today’s blog – Screw You Guys, I’m Going Home – I didn’t immediately know what the topic would be. But the tag line says “What you need to know before you scream ‘I Quit,’ get fired, or decide to sue the bastards,” so today’s blog…
Blawg of the Day – Utah Appellate Blog
Today we venture to the Beehive State and visit the Utah Appellate Blog, which reports on cases before the Utah Supreme Court, Utah Court of Appeals, and the Tenth Circuit. As with most appellate blogs, you’ll mostly find posts here on different cases decided by these courts, so it’s good if you’re looking for…
Announcing: iPad in One Hour for Litigators
When I talk to lawyers about using the iPad in their practice, I invariably get around to telling them that for some reason, app developers have really concentrated on making apps for litigators more than for any other type of legal practice. And that’s a great thing; having worked for more than 6 years as…
