Not surprisingly, some of the hottest topics being discussed here at LegalTech NY are mobile applications for lawyers-on-the-go.
With the iPad nearly becoming standard equipment for lawyers these days, WestlawNext is rolling out new collaboration tools for its iPad app. Enhanced folder sharing lets users share research results with people both within and outside their organization, as well as tap into the research and collective knowledge of others.

Recently Anne Ellis, senior director, Librarian Relations, spoke to a group of law librarians who are part of a pilot group testing the new Thomson Reuters ProView eReader. Her key take-aways on the evolution of technology in the law library, and library management, are highlighted in a recent Legal Rebels post at ABA.com.
Whether conducting a spot check of court rules with ProView, verifying a case on an iPhone, or consulting secondary source materials related to a case on an iPad, technology continues to offer research and management time savings. And these law librarians embrace new technology to enable education, research and efficiency for the students and the attorneys they support.

eReaders are all the rage these days, but until now, there hasn’t been an eReader app that was built from the ground up for professional use.
Thomson Reuters ProView eReader app for the iPad is now available at the Westlaw Store. ProView has professional-grade features including:
- Full-text search using the same Boolean search technology that powers Westlaw and WestlawNext
- Notes and annotations which are stored securely
- Uniform user experience that accurately displays complex content such as tables. Other eReader applications have to deal with multiple file formats and may not consistently render some important information correctly, such as tables.
- Content that easily updates as new editions and updates become available. In addition, users’ notes and annotations can be transferred to the updated versions.
Initial titles for the U.S. market include court rules for NY, TX, IL, FL and OH. In addition, free sample titles are available for ProView.
More information on the Thomson Reuters ProView eReader app is available here.

It’s been quite a year for WestlawNext and the WestlawNext iPad app, both of which continue to add new functionality, as well as gather industry awards and acclaim.
The latest enhancements to the iPad app help the user while working offline — an important consideration given the tremendous mobility & portability that the tablet format provides.
The app lets users save and view documents, including notes and highlights, in offline folders. Researchers can continue their analysis, even when they don’t have an Internet connection. When a connection is re-established, work done offline is automatically synchronized with the online application.
The ability to have access to legal research even in the absence of a cellular broadband or Wi-Fi connection takes legal research to a whole new level, and helps researchers to be more efficient in doing client work anywhere, anytime.
