Home-Mac; Work-Mac

Many Mac Attorneys use their Macs and other Apple Devices both at work and at home. This means that your business Mac, iPhone, and iPad often does double-duty as your personal Mac, iPhone, and iPad. How do you keep your attorney-client confidential documents and business records separate from your awesome selfie collection and world-class cat video library? How can you keep a photos library of family photos apart and distinct from your pictures of the accident site survey? Our experts at this session will educate you about the potential pitfalls of this dual-use strategy, inform you about gold-standard policies dealing with BYOD employees, and talk about best workflows and practices to coordinate and sync your personal and professional lives.

Effective Practice Management Systems Yield Focused Lawyering

Practice management systems are about so much more than sending email, and managing your calendar and tasks. When used effectively, practice management systems streamline every aspect of a busy law practice, from client intake and clearing conflicts, to document management and discovery, and even billing and trust accounting. If you're not already using a practice management system, this session will get you on the right path. But even if you're already on the bandwagon, you can still benefit from this session, by learning about the latest tips, tricks, and integrations that help you minimize time spent on redundant tasks like data entry, so you can maximize the time practicing law (and capture your billable time too!).

The Deep Dark Web

Think of it as the iceberg of the Internet. Some estimates place the content of the Deep Web at 96% of all Internet information. That means only 4% of the Internet data is indexed by traditional search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo. How do you access the Deep Web and can you be anonymous as you traverse areas fraught with dangers? The Deep Web may even contain information to help your case, but how do you find it? Come learn the secrets and challenges of navigating the deep, dark waters of the internet.
