Law.com – LegalTech New York: That’s a Wrap
February 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment
LegalTech New York felt like a user conference this year. Although the messages sent from vendors were mixed, a number of threads appeared that set the tone for the show and marked a direction for the new year: full speed ahead.
Consumers of online legal research received long-awaited news. Both LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters dramatically changed the way users interface with legal research tools. What took them so long? Technology has finally caught up with the way users search for legal information and where they would like to be when they find it.
End users are accustomed to using intuitive search interfaces that accept natural-language queries and return relevant results in a prioritized list with the most relevant document on top. You can call that Bing-like or Google-like, but you will soon call it WestSearch, which uses assets such as the Key Number System, KeyCite, secondary sources, and headnotes, as well as transactional data, e.g., whether other users have printed or saved a document to a folder.
LexisNexis teamed with Microsoft to put legal research into the tools legal professionals use every day. Lexis for Microsoft lets you engage legal research tasks within Microsoft Outlook, Word, and SharePoint Server. According to Brian Zeve, managing director of Microsoft's Professional Services Industry, the technology was not there before. Now Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010, along with SharePoint 2010, can be used as development platforms to incorporate LexisNexis legal research tools into the applications attorneys use every day.

LegalTech New York opens this coming Monday (February 1st) at The Hilton New York (1335 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 1-212-586-7000).
The show is presented by ALM Events, a producer of educational and networking events. And most of us know ALM through its various media outlets/brands: The American Lawyer, Corporate Counsel, Law.com, Law Journal Press, The National Law Journal, etc.
It is the world’s largest legal technology conference and trade show. Last year the show attracted nearly 13,000 attendees and featured almost 300 exhibiting companies. The 2010 conference will offer more than 60 educational sessions for attendees on topics ranging from electronic discovery and knowledge management to emerging technologies.
Each day, the sessions are parsed into multiple tracks including: Risk Management, General Counsel, Web 3.0, Intelligence, Knowledge Management, International E-Discovery, ILTA Advanced IT, Comprehensive Recordkeeping, and Emerging Technology.
We have covered both LegalTech shows (New York and LA) because our membership base has expanded beyond our core of contract attorneys/temporary attorneys and contract forensics consultants to include paralegals, in-house counsel, law firm attorneys, solo practitioners, e-discovery vendors, legal media, and others.
If you are contract attorney/temporary attorney or a contract forensics consultant or paralegal, or involved in some aspect of e-discovery work, and you’ll be in NYC next week, you should go. No, not necessarily pay the $695 single-day attendance fee if you cannot afford it. Because a lot of LegalTech events are open to everybody.

LegalTech Descends on New York

Lawyers provide legal information to clients and courts of law. The key word is information. With it, we can retain clients, render services, and manage the business of law. And with developments in information technology, we can continually improve our receipt, analysis, and delivery of legal information and account for its costs and remuneration.
With information technology, we can provide better legal services with research tools from the likes of LexisNexis and Westlaw Next and software from e-discovery vendors like Guidance Software, Kroll Ontrack, and StoredIQ that help manage and archive information, as well as cull, produce, and review data for evidence. Transactional lawyers can benefit from document assembly tools and litigators can improve their chances for success with trial technology and internet research. We can also better manage our business with time-and-billing programs, as well as case and matter management applications installed on premise or in the cloud from the likes of Clio and Rocket Matter.
What are the next big improvements in information technology that will benefit lawyers and law firms? Find out at LegalTech New York.
LegalTech brings lawyers, paralegals, law firm administrators, developers, manufacturers, and technologists, and more to the Hilton New York from Feb. 1-3 to share developments and improvements in legal technology, including e-discovery. In 2009, LegalTech New York attracted nearly 13,000 attendees and featured almost 300 exhibiting companies. This year's attendance will be comparable to 2009, says Henry Payne Dicker, vice president of ALM Events, and is ahead in some categories, like paid registrations.
