Another blawger in Naperville
Just got an e-mail from a fellow Naperville resident, Evan Brown, who maintains a new blog, “InternetCases.com”:http://www.internetcases.com/. His site looks great, and he’s got a “podcast feed”:http://feeds.feedburner.com/internetcases/podcast to boot.

bq. Right after jury selection began last week, one man got up and left, announcing, “I’m on morphine and I’m higher than a kite.”

Cisco, legal services and offshoring
Couple years back, I wrote about Marc Chandler’s presentation at the CIO Forum, where he talked about how firms had to “adopt technology quickly”:http://www.rklau.com/tins/archives/2003/03/03/cio_forum_update.php if they expected to compete for Cisco’s business; more recently, “Ernie”:http://www.ernietheattorney.net/ernie_the_attorney/2005/01/message_from_co.html and “Dennis”:http://www.denniskennedy.com/archives/2005_01.html#a000552 (among others) pointed out that Laura Owen, Cisco’s director of worldwide legal services, “wrote at Law.com”:http://www.law.com/jsp/ltn/pubArticleLTN.jsp?id=1104759335187 this week [...]

LexisNexis acquires Interface Software
Big news from my old employer: “LexisNexis Acquires Interface Software”:http://www.interfacesoftware.com/newsevents/news/041213_lexisnexis.cfm.
This is exciting, definitely a win-win for both companies. It gives LexisNexis (when _did_ they eliminate the hyphen in their name?) a best-of-breed software application with mission-critical importance at some of the largest professional services firms in the world, while providing InterAction customers with access to [...]

Innovation for lawyers
Matt Homann has a great idea:
I’ve been talking to some really smart people lately, and have been running an idea past them that I’ve blogged about before — a conference on innovation for lawyers. The goal would be to provide attendees with both the ideas and the tools to incorporate innovation into their practices, and [...]
