Using iPads in Court - 0 views

  Having just purchased my iPad two months ago, I routinely carry it with my in my briefcase. I was in court on Friday when another lawyer mentioned a rather obscure local rule that was in my favor. Using Safari, I went to the county court's own website, searched the local Rules of Civil Procedure, found the Rule, and actually handed an iPad to a sitting judge! It certainly got the attention of a crowded courtroom and it was effective. I think this is going to happen more and more simply due to the amount of data that can be carried on the device. I never leave home without it and plan on getting the largest amount of memory possible on the next one that comes out. It's not a laptop, but it is really an amazing and reliable communication and information-retrieving device when I'm not in my office with a desktop available. I have the usual Wall Street Journal and other business APPs as well as practice management tools that are tied directly into my office. It has literally paid for itself many times over in terms of billable time captured and happy clients who can get answers fast.
