Today, technology has become more and more synonymous with productivity. Lawyers are turning to technology to not only get things done quicker, but also make their professional lives easier.
An article (registration is required) written by Lee Ann Enquist, vice president of Professional Development at West LegalEdcenter, addresses the emerging relationship between lawyers and the iPhone.
In Lawyers Enjoy New Level of Productivity with iPhone Technology, several attorneys shared their views on how the iPhone impact their professional lives. All believed that the iPhone allowed them to keep up-to-date with important information when they were on the go, but they also felt the CLE Mobile app was one of the most valuable assets of having their phones.
West LegalEdcenter launched CLE Mobile in December 2009. The app lets iPhone and iPod touch users download audio courses to earn CLE credits.
Due to the increasing use of the iPhone in the legal world, law firm information technology departments have begun to rethink their mobile support strategies to ensure that mobile devices are compatible with other office technology.
In order to keep up with the growth of iPhone use among practicing attorneys, Enquist argues that the legal industry must continue to create meaningful applications that allow attorneys to be more productive.
