Tech Circuit: The LegalTech California Shuttle
June 8, 2013
The dilemma about LegalTech, whether in New York or Los Angeles, is that you can't be in five different places at once. It's always an absolute whirlwind of ideas, demonstrations, meetings, ideas, meals, networking, videos, ideas, presentations, overload, and did I say, ideas? It's exhilarating and somewhat dizzying. It's so difficult to choose among the panels, people, priorities, but you just have to do it. The cliché of course is to compare it to cruise food spread, but that's too easy. So...

Whereas conventional computers compute solutions...

Dewey Culprit Freed From Debts Partners Forced To Pay
June 7, 2013
This just in from the American Lawyer on the man who allegedly caused the downfall of a once great international law firm. The settlement appears to be a virtual hologram of the misdeeds with which he is charged. Being the spouse of a Heller partner with many Heller friends who were subjected to the threats of the creditors' committee, I feel this man's partners' pain. As of next year, former Dewey & LeBoeuf chairman Steven Davis—faulted by many both inside and outside the firm as the chief...
