Over the years, Twitter has brought me many connections and opportunities in a way that no other social media platform has.

“Legal Design” or should we call it something else?
An interesting debate took place on Twitter over the past few days on the term “Legal Design”. I thought it would be worthwhile documenting it on here as it will soon be lost on Twitter as we move on there to the next hot topic. I think this is a debate worth preserving and perhaps…
Reflections on 2018 Legal Tech Predictions
In January 2018 I made some legal technology predictions for that coming year. I’ll now look back and see how those predictions fared.

Tweets on Improving a Law Firm
