The Next Trial Advantage
Every lawyer in America has heard of the iPad, and there are some surveys that show a significant number of us also own one. There is no question that the iPad's portability is a big advantage, or that the technology behind it is rock solid. The question, up until recently, has been whether or not the iPad is capable of some of the heavy lifting the business of litigation requires. While apps specifically designed for professionals are still somewhat rare, I've found a few that answer the question with a resounding “yes.”
Though there are just a few apps for attorneys (and for business in general), there are more coming out every day. I discovered TrialPad the way most people seem to find apps: I searched online and then looked in the App Store. Reading the descriptions, testimonials and reviews on the App Store gives some insight into the perspective of the developer as well as users. Also important to the process is talking to colleagues and reading users' comments on websites and blogs that focus on technology for the legal profession. If you read what people write, and see what other Apps they buy, you can get a sense of their practices, and whether their needs are similar to yours.
