Web 2.0: Don't Miss the Big Picture

By Jay M. Jaffe
November 25, 2008

In a recent article in LJN's Legal Tech Newsletter, the authors went to great lengths to explain the pros and cons of the relatively new Web 2.0 environment that the legal profession is just beginning to embrace, albeit slowly, as they said is usual. The very timely and informative article goes on to educate the reader about blogs and wikis and social networks and podcasts and all of the wonderful things that the Web 2.0 platform can provide for the profession. The authors also point out in their conclusion that “lawyers can experience a more efficient workflow and a more dynamic avenue of communication with their clients and prospective clients.” (See, “Web 2.0 Comes to the Legal Profession” in the Aug. 2008 issue, available at www.ljnonline.com/issues/ljn_legaltech/26_5/news/150795-1.html.)
