"Lawyers need access to the Internet, their offices and other resources on a constant basis, and others need similar access to them. Portability will become a significant factor in every legal technology decision."

Why two "different" conferences?

The Lawyers Workstation Conference on Friday 30th of March is a unique conference focusing on how lawyers can personally use IT. It is the day after our Online Legal Services Conference. Most lawyers and legal IT people should attend both days. However, larger firms now have specialists in particular areas of legal IT whose domain might only cover one area. We decided to hold the two conferences together to make it more worthwhile for those who have to travel.

Why Telephone Presentations?

It allows us to have leading-edge overseas speakers who would not otherwise be able to participate. As the OS-based speakers have commitments which preclude travel to Australia, the telephone presentations followed by live questions with locally driven slide shows/screen shots/demonstrations offer a great alternative.

Who should attend?

Who should attend?

Those who want to learn more and "push the envelope" in empowering lawyers.

So, who should attend:

• Inhouse lawyers inspired by Laura Owen's suggestions.
• Managing Partners, and Group Practice Leaders from large and small firms, so they can provide inspiration and direction.
• Practice Support Lawyers, Staff and Consultants so they can add to the services they offer.
• Sole Practictioners so they can team up with consultants and other lawyers, and move much more quickly than their large firm colleagues.
• The firm IT and Administrative staff, and consultants so they can support the lawyers who have the vision.
• External IT consultants/suppliers.for small firms

Discounts are provided to additional people from the one firm to facilitate a wider understanding of the importance of IT to lawyers.
