• Collaboration Tech: Around the Corner or Around the World -

  This month's issue of the ABA's Law Practice Magazine is out and it has an international theme. Lots of good articles, but I especially wanted to highlight an article called "Collaborative Technologies: Working with Others Around the Corner or Around the World," by Tom Mighell and me.

  We based the article on some of the main themes of our new book on collaboration tools and technologies. This article is designed as an short introduction to the topic of collaboration tools. The sidebar addresses the all-important issue of collaboration culture and sets out some tips for handling cultural issues in your collaboration efforts.

  The money quote:

  Today it’s relatively simple for any lawyer, regardless of firm size or budget, to collaborate with clients, colleagues, co-counsel, experts or even opposing counsel in nearly any corner of the world. The difference? The rise of the Internet as a communications tool.

  I also like this quote, which illustrates one of our aha insights while we wrote the book - the notion of co-evolution:

  The ways that people work together shift over time, which can affect your culture of collaboration. More important, the introduction of collaboration technologies can also change the culture of collaboration. If handled properly, the tools and the culture will co-evolve.

  Check out the article to get an idea of why I think that collaboration is the most important topic in technology today.

• Gerry Spence Launches a Blog - Legendary Wyoming trial lawyer Gerry Spence is now also on the road to becoming a legendary blogger. Earlier this month, he launched Gerry Spence's Blog, explaining in an introductory post that he has done a "miserably inadequate" job of using the Internet to share his thoughts and lessons. "I have learned things about our broken judicial system I want to expose to you," he writes. "I have ideas about our condition in this slave-hold under which many decent Americans suffer."
