Originally Presented at the ABA's 2013 Spring Law Practice Management Section Meeting By Dennis Kennedy and Larry Port We have reached the point where there are more mobile apps than there are lawyers. Finding the right apps for you can seem quite difficult. In this practical, broad-based and-fast paced session, you’ll learn ways to find and locate apps that work for you no matter what platform you use, how apps let you take advantage of the many features of these devices in innovative and useful ways, and some apps and app management approaches that you should be using.
