Attorneys often ask me about the use of iPads in their practice, and they especially want to know how the iPad can help in mediation and trial. I start by telling them the good news: that the number of highly functional and practical apps developed specifically for attorneys has increased dramatically, making the investment in an iPad for your practice much more attractive than even six months ago.
Then I tell them it pays to invest at least a few hours to learn how to optimize the iPad for case management and litigation presentations. Otherwise, that cool tablet may stay parked by the bedside as a high-powered tool to read a digital newspaper (or a toy that kids run off with to play Minecraft).
