Lawyers often find themselves in unfamiliar and uncomfortable places, meeting strange and difficult people, and facing the daunting prospect of meetings, hearings, conferences, and other highly demanding obligations.

We’ve collected the top 15 here, omitting titles such as Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, Skype, and Yelp, which are already widely known by most mobile device users.
