Do your Legal Research on Google Scholar
Google has released a new site where you can do legal research. I still prefer Precydent.com as a free solution over Google but I am sure that Google will continue to improve its search functions over time. Check out Google’s legal research site at scholar.google.com.

Why Fastcase may win over Lexis and Westlaw
Fastcase is the opensource solution for finding case law online. It is cheaper and easier to navigate then Westlaw and Lexis. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that Westlaw and Lexis have, but for lawyers looking who are tech savvy and need research done without billing their clients an arm and a leg for it Fastcase is a great solution. Another newcomer to online legal research is Precydent.com. For the non-lawyer looking for case law, I would try this out first and then go to Fastcase for a free trial. The law should be open to everyone. The public should not have to go down to the law library just to look up some cases and statutes that may affect their lives. I believe that services like Precydent and Fastcase are finally opening up the law to everyone.

How many people will actually use Amazon links
Being a tech geek, I have 24 domains currently that receive approximately 10,000 pageviews per month. Today I decided to put an Amazon link on my sites to see if people actually go through the link to purchase anything. I suspect that only my friends and family will ever use it, but you never know who may jump from my pages to Amazon, so here it is.

Technology is changing the face of the law. Lawyers need to adapt to these changes to better serve their clients and to survive. Having spent part of my career working in the tech industry, I believe that lawyers have a fantastic opportunity to offer affordable, better and faster service if they utilize technologies like document automation, online client CMS and lead generation from a variety of providers. This blog aims to address legal issues and new technologies that affect the legal industry today. If you would like to speak to me about the content of this blog please call me at (305) 514-0600 or email me at gbodner@nautiluslegal.com. 
Interesting Blog Posts- Discovering Kindness In The Storm(Photo: Guillermo.D) Sand storms bring out interesting conversation. That’s what I was thinking as fine dust hit every inch of my face, flooding my sunglasses and burning my eyes. I pulled a white bandana up over my face, and then — as suddenly as it started — it ended. The three people seated around me [...] […]

TechCrunch- Get used to “3D” TVs – They’re Here To Stay September 7, 2010We've seen a lot of TVs announced before and during IFA this year. That makes sense — it's a consumer electronics show, after all. And I guarantee that most if not all of those sets will have their 3D capability touted. It's a dangerous move, since so many consumers are wary of 3D — not enough content, bulky glasses, headaches, and so on. So t […]Devin Coldewey
ABA Legal Rebels- Mennonite Minister Finds Calling in Defending Military Dissenters September 7, 2010But Branum, an Oklahoma native who came back home after a stint in Austin, Texas—largely because he thought members of the peace community there took themselves a little too seriously—comes across as a man who’s probably never fit in completely. That seems to help him relate to clients, many of them young people having serious problems with the U.S. military […]
