Law Firm Technology Awards

Hal 9000.jpgWhich firms are on the cutting edge of the digital age? Law and Technology News has an opinion. The publication just released their sixth annual law technology awards:

The awards recognize outstanding innovation by law firms and law departments in their use of technology.

The big winner is Fish & Richardson for most innovative use of technology.

And Joy Heath Rush of Sidley Austin won the award for “Champion” of Technology. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds pretty cool.

Read about all of the award winners here.

What a surprise, a patent firm full of tech backgrounded people? I'm shocked that they'd be into technology. Shocked, I tell you!

What about the plane crash?

How is the plane crash related to a legal gossip blog? Or are you suggesting the pilot should sue the flock of geese, thereby making it tangentially related to this blog? (Note: Yes, I realize the passengers will sue the airline, etc.)

6. What about it? Flock of geese. Looks like the pilot did an excellent job putting the plane down in a controlled fashion in the Hudson. I hope everybody is okay.

It might be cool, I don't know. And if it's not, I don't care.

I'll bet the survivors had some close encounters with LOBSTERS.

No lobster could survive in the Hudson for any measurable time.

But what does this mean for FISH & RICHARDSON?

14,

No lobster could survive in the Hudson for any measurable time and be edible let alone in Kash's ass.

That's just the engine powering up.
That's just the engine struggling.

That's just a carp swimming around your ankles.

A carp swimming around your ankles?

Let me take a wild guess -- you're not from New York, are you?

Guys in my high school used to crash planes into the Hudson all the time, it was no big deal.

20 - no, but I have the ability to think of a Simpsons quote applicable to the given situation. But seriously, I do hope everyone is ok.

Rather than recognizing firms that use technology well, someone should lambast firms like Weil that still use Lotus Notes.

Hoe about firms that still use WordPerfect. I thought Microsoft Word killed WordPerfect but I was wrong...

32 - What about firms that use Microsoft Works?

Connie Hoffman is a great choice for this award. She formerly managed Client Technology for Brian Cave and now is in charge of all IT. She has been focused on giving attorneys, staff and clients technology that actually serves their needs.

Sidley is "champion" of techdontknowlogy. My dog provides better technology options, and he was born later than anything Sidley has to offer.

Can't comment on Joy, but Sidley is hardly a champion. We're still using the old version of Office and have ancient blackberries (an no option to choose a better platform).

39, you are clearly working off of very old technology seeing as you can only access week-old posts.
