Product Review: Hand Carved Stylus from DT Designs
You won’t be able to purchase this item anywhere just yet, but I wanted to showcase a new product that I’m working to bring to the market on a limited, meaning exclusive, basis. As I described in the video, this is a hand carved stylus created by my father. There will be at least 3… Continue Reading
Infographic: Lawyers and Mobile Devices
Here’s a cool infographic I received from Easy Legal Billing, that talks about how lawyers use mobile devices. I see a couple bits of information to highlight: First, mobile devices increase work hours and client expectations, but decrease sustained reading. This factoid tells me that if you’re going to be using a mobile device, you better… Continue Reading

Does a Lawyer Need a Smartphone?
The mobile revolution is upon us, in case you lived under a styrofoam cup for the past 15 years. Lawyers aren’t immune from the digitalization of society, and certainly not the constant, unrelenting rush of mobile technology. I’m kind of surprised though at the number of people who fleetingly grasp at the last visages of “old technology,” restraining… Continue Reading
Poll: Who’s More Apt to Adopt Technology?

Specifically, the conversation revolved around smartphones and tablets, and we both concluded that solo or small firm lawyers tended to have greater adoption, and use, of mobile products. The reason: restrictions or limits on technology in bigger firms. That’s not to say… Continue Reading

A lot of readers (mostly non-lawyers) are interested in my view (preferably a legal opinion) on tethering. Dedicate fans of The Droid Lawyer blog will know I’ve discussed tethering, and even recommended a couple… Continue Reading
How to: Adding Additional Email Accounts to Android
I’m sure your law practice is similar to mine, where your email accounts seem as plentiful as clients. I have a work address, a personal address, a listserve address, a “burner” address I give to the Nigerian email scammers, and even that old holdout from college I can’t seem to lose in spite of the… Continue Reading
The Droid Lawyer Vacation: Day 5
I finally finished, or should I say nearly finished, the response brief I’ve been working on. Aside from some minor use of a laptop to create a PDF, I created the entire brief using my Android tablet, sans bluetooth keyboard no less. The thing I learned is that tablets are not for big projects. While… Continue Reading
And Maybe Not…Or In Other Words, Android Forever!
There’s nothing better than a heated debate, meshed with a significant number of well-informed people. Maybe that’s why I hate the political system and rhetoric (bah-dum-dum). When I wrote this post I expected a few comments, but certainly not the amount I received. What’s more, none of the comments were “Android fan-boys” touting how great the… Continue Reading
