ABA TECHSHOW delivers value

ABA TECHSHOW, presented by the ABA’s Law Practice Management Section (LPM), just marked its 23rd year. The event in Chicago is billed as “the world’s premier legal technology CLE conference and expo,” with three days of educational sessions in legal technology and networking for legal professionals.

Several of our colleagues within the legal businesses of Thomson Reuters were on hand and we did some video interviews with a few of them on April 3, the last day of the show, to get a sense of what they were hearing from customers.

Sean Carter, field technology manager for West, discusses a presentation he gave on delivering value and using technology wisely to improve efficiency and workflow in this video interview:

We also talked with Jill Dabrowski, a product developer at West, who discussed the importance of understanding chronology and timelines for attorneys – especially litigators.

Knowing when things happened or what’s happening next is important- not only in managing a case, but also versions of documents and overall workflow. Here’s Jill’s interview about West Case Timeline:

And, Donna Weinberg, product specialist at West, told us about LiveNote and Case Notebook and the positive response from attendees about the products. Watch her overview of the features of Case Notebook in this interview:

LiveNote’s Will Robberts

Will Robberts, general manager of LiveNote, took some time at LegalTech to give us more insights into West Court Reporting Services and the new Remote Video Sharing features:

LiveNote leads the way with video

Video is all over the Web – in fact, you’ll see a variety of video clips on this blog over the next few days from LegalTech New York - but it’s also becoming more important for litigators.

They’re turning to LiveNote for realtime information services and streaming video for an edge in the courtroom with VideoSite and West Court Reporting Services.

LiveNote and West Court Reporting Services are part of Thomson West’s growing portfolio of litigation software and services.

We recently recorded a Westcast podcast focusing on the key developments in transcript and evidence management tools and video streaming. It features Steve Priem, vice president of Litigation for Thomson West and Will Robberts, general manager of LiveNote.
