LPM Program at Boston College Law School – Part I of II

Posted by alan | education, law practice management | Friday 30 January 2009 1:09 pm

Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking at the first of two Law Practice Management programs at Boston College Law School on behalf of the Massachusetts Bar Association with dear friends Sally Stratman, office manager at Rubin and Rudman, Terry Welch, head of the MBA Insurance Agency, and Rodney Dowell, LPM Section co-chair and director of the Massachusetts Law Office Management Assistance Program.  We had an anthusiastic discussion about budgeting for your practice, choices of insurance, technology considerations, and basic practice management issues.  The problem was that, due to the great discussion, there was no time for our slides.  Rodney put his presentation on his blog site for your viewing pleasure.  Regardless of whether or not you attended yesterday’s program, this is a wonderful presentation.  Enjoy.

Back to work!

First I would like to thank the Law Education Institute and the Colorado Bar Association for allowing me to speak at their annual conference last week.  It was a refreshing experience to get out to Vail and speak to a wonderful and enthusiastic group of attorneys.

It seems as if attorneys are yearning for more knowledge on how to use Acrobat and discover the power of PDF.  To that end, my friends Rick Borstein and Mark Middleton have been doing legal eSeminars on various subjects.  The next four are as follows:

Save Time, Meet Deadlines – January 15, 2009 1:00 P.M. ET

Legal Redaction and Metadata Removal – February 12, 2009 1:00 P.M. ET

Creating and Working with PDF Forms for the Legal Market – February 19, 2009 1:00 P.M. ET

Creating Electronic Closing Binders using Adobe Acrobat 9 - February 26th, 1:00 P.M. ET

These are worthwhile seminars for anyone interested in using PDFs for your practice.
