Regular departments include “The Cutting Edge,” which examines advanced technology trends and their impact on legal professionals. Launch features in this department profile the role played by computer animations in winning a $250 million dollar punitive damage award against DaimlerChrysler in a recent liability trial, and “Law Without Lawyers,” a look at experimental efforts by three of the world’s largest law firms to develop automated systems to provide clients with legal advice.
The “Product Reviews” and “Gadget” departments include announcements and reviews of new hardware, software and system products targeted at the law industry. Articles in these areas range from a review of three competing time-billing packages available to law firms, to a look at the SEC’s new fee-based LIVEDGAR.COM service, which provides immediate access to same-day filings.
