If you are looking for a great way to get your CLE hours in 2014, my favorite CLE every year is ABA TECHSHOW in Chicago.  It is a great opportunity to learn about technology, see some of the latest in legal tech, and spend some time with some great people.  This year, TECHSHOW is March 27 through 29, 2014.

Over the last few years, the number of sessions dedicated to the iPhone and iPad have increased substantially, and 2014 looks to be the best year ever for iPhone J.D. readers.  The first day of the conference, Thursday March 27, features an entire track devoted to the iPad.  The day starts with a session entitled “iPad in Action.”  Next, there is a session called “iPad in Trial / iPad for Litigators” that I will be presenting along with Judge Hebert Dixon of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.  Judge Dixon is a tech-savvy judge who has been involved with ABA TECHSHOW for a long time, and I hope that we will be able to provide some great iPad tips for litigators from both sides of the bench.

The first session after lunch on Thursday is called “iGadgets and iGear for the iLawyer,” and Ben Stevens of The Mac Lawyer and I will team up to discuss all of the great accessories that you might consider using with your iPad.  I’m sure that we will mention some cool iPhone accessories too.  This is the first time that there will be a TECHSHOW session devoted to iPad accessories, and I’m looking forward to it.  The final session on Thursday is called “Advanced iPad:  Working with Word and So Much More,” and will provide tips for taking your iPad to the next level.

Then on Friday, there will be lots of sessions of interest to iPhone J.D. readers.  For Mac users, there is an entire Mac track.  There is also a Mobile track which includes sessions for lawyers who travel and using an iPad as a PC-replacement.  There is also an entire track devoted to going Paperless.  There is also a session devoted to Evernote users, a session in the Advanced IT track on mobile device security, and even some Android sessions for anyone curious what life is like on the other side of the tracks.
