Web 2.0: Don't Miss The Big Picture

BY Jay M. Jaffe
December 22, 2008

In a recent article in LJN's Legal Tech Newsletter (a sibling newsletter of Internet Law & Strategy), 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.)

Not Just an Upgrade

What I think the authors understated is that Web 2.0 is more than merely an upgrade of Web 1.0; rather, it is an evolutionary step toward a major change to the practice of law ' and the end of the bricks-and-mortar world of law firms as we know them today.
