Lawyers USA Reveals How Lawyers Already Using iPads

Posted on May 10, 2010 by Ben Stevens Posted in iPad 4 Comments

A little over a week ago, Lawyers USA published an article which discussed the various ways that attorneys are already using iPads in their practices.  The three primary ways are: (1) content reader, (2) yellow pad in Court, and (3) trial presentation tool.

I was interviewed for this article regarding these trends and discussing my thoughts on the iPad’s future in law offices. I said “The processor, memory and hard drive all work very well together, and very quickly.”  However, I pointed out that the clunky file transfer system and the inability to run multiple apps simultaneously are major drawbacks at this time.  

However, I predict that they will be resolved as early as this summer with the OS update, and once that happens, I hope to only bring my iPad to court.  I said, “I’d like to eventually be standing in court with a one and a-half pound piece of glass and not have to lug paper files around. That’s where I want to be.”

    I am already using mine this way. I have a link on my secretaries desk with Dropbox and if I forget a file, she just puts it in there for me and I dl it while in court. Here in NY, most of the Courts have wifi, so I do not need the 3G. Have been doing it this way for around 3 weeks now.

    I don’t have a password for the full article. Could someone please relay the article’s suggestions for using the ipad as a yellow notepad? The only way I’ve seen is using an app like Penultimate and a pogo sketch. Haven’t heard anyone’s feedback on this or other ideas.

    One of our attorneys here is already using his iPad to take notes during depositions. Our system handles emailing to a specific matter. What he does it takes notes on the iPad using Pages, then emails the pages doc (or the selected text) to the matter and it gets inserted straight into the matter history.
