As Carl Sagan brilliantly observed, "We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology." This quote could not be more relevant to the practice of law. Law firms run on computers and software, yet one of the biggest problems faced by law firms is the underutilization or inefficient use of technology. Remember, it isn't what the technology can do, it's what you can do with the technology. Technology training is (or should be) the most important part of any technology budget, but it's often the most neglected. For the same reasons that we have continuing legal education, we need ongoing technology training. Specifically, the subject matter changes constantly and it directly impacts our practices. More importantly, learning to use the tools you already have is the least expensive way to dramatically improve your technological efficiency and improve your bottom line.

Our classes are all designed by lawyers and taught by lawyers or paralegals with years of real-world experience in the industry. As a result, the trainers bring valuable experience to the classes and the curriculum omits irrelevant material and spends more time on the things that are important to law firms.
