Question of the Week
What Are Your Must-Have Gadgets, and Why?
http://www.abajournal.com/weekly/article/question_of_the_week_must-have_gadgets_software?utm_source=maestro&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=default_email
Last month, Law Technology News wrote an article describing must-have software and gadgets for paralegals. Among the article's suggestions: Google Docs, a Livescribe Pen and a list of six iPad apps.
Practical Paralegalism blogger Lynne DeVenny saw the article and tweeted: "What are your must-have gadgets? Mine are my iPhone, iPad, & Keurig coffee maker :)"
So this week, we repeat DeVenny's question: What are your must-have gadgets, and why? Also tell us: What gadgets and software do you need but not have? Household appliances such as coffee makers are eligible.
Answer in the comments.
Read the answers to last week's question: What Judge Would You Like to Watch on TV, And Why?
http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/what_judge_would_you_like_to_watch_on_tv_and_why/
Featured answer:
Posted by John:"Scalia? Roberts? (Both?) Each is reasonably good on camera. And it would get them off the Supreme Court bench. Scalia could have a whole second career as a film narrator or audiobook reader."
