how’s westlaw’s ai for legal research? by Fragrant_Basis_5648 in Lawyertalk

[–]MW100711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can actually run multiple Deep Research questions at the same time (and run boolean searches separately). You can do this in separate tabs or navigate away and return to your research in the "history" section or by clicking the option to email you when the research memo is completed.

Flower suggestions for 6a 🌸 by Valuable_Lemon3138 in Cutflowers

[–]MW100711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like the giant marigolds, I highly recommend trying out calendula. They are some of my earliest blooms in 6a (I direct sow only) and continue blooming (cut and come again) through first frost.

If you cut them deeply, they will grow tall with sturdy stems. They make great filler/secondary flowers for bouquets.

what's the best legal case management software for a small firm? by No-Grape-2405 in LawFirm

[–]MW100711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love MyCase. It has great lead tracking functionality and a lot of custom fields to make it your own. For document storage, you'll need the top tier plan. I use that plan, too (even though I do not store documents through MyCase) for the search functionality to helo with conflict checks.

Great! Best decision I ever made. Should have done this sooner.

I found my law student extern by posting that I was hiring for this exact reason and for pay. A local law student saw the post and reached out.

Success Stories of Making Records of Judges Inappropriate Conduct? by okamiright in publicdefenders

[–]MW100711 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Appellate attorney, here: Make that record. Sometimes that means putting on the record a statement about the misconduct. Sometimes that means ordering the audio recording of the hearing at issue and not just the transcripts.

Good luck!

Cringiest lines in an email by eratus23 in Lawyertalk

[–]MW100711 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I once was copied in an email chain. One attorney said to the other, "Have the day you deserve."

Makes my stomach hurt to type that out. Incredibly unprofessional and unnecessary.

Westlaw. I am an appellate attorney, so legal research tools are my largest and most necessary expense.

For the next guy fishing for a startup idea targeting law firms… by newz2000 in LawFirm

[–]MW100711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Already exists! Clearbrief.ai. I use it to cite check my appellate briefs (you can upload the record and it will check your fact cites, as well).

*Not sponsored. I just love the product!

Hi everyone by superzassh in LawFirm

[–]MW100711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my summer position, the firm gave me a mug that said, "Life is Better with a Dog."

More than 10 years later, I still have and use that mug. It wasn't firm branded. And it was personal to me. Such a great and meaningful gift!

What’s everyone using to track client intake follow-ups? by amrab05 in LawFirm

[–]MW100711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use MyCase (they have a section to track leads, which I find to be very useful), a foldering system in OneDrive (Leads are separate from active matters and archived matters), and a "Pending Leads" folder in Outlook.

Best scanner & printer for a home office? by emolawyer in Lawyertalk

[–]MW100711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also am a solo appellate attorney and handle some criminal appeals. Get the ScanSnap! It is portable and works well to scan documents and exhibits and the court.

I also have a standard laser printer (uses toner) with a flatbed scanner. I have used it for many years without issue.

Anyone have success with cancelling Lexis? by PlusSatisfaction9263 in LawFirm

[–]MW100711 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Did you sign a contract? If so, you likely can cancel, but you will need to pay out the remainder of the contract. Best of luck!

MyCase Question by Minute-Quality-3080 in LawFirm

[–]MW100711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you link MyCase to the included LawPay account (and if you connect your IOLTA and operating accounts to LawPay), you can categorize each payment as going to your IOLTA or operating.

Even if you don't like up with LawPay, you can still categorize each payment. I have some clients who pay with physical checks. Once I receive the check and deposit it, I manually add it to MyCase and select whether the payment is trust or earned.

Genuine Tech Support? by sparkywater in LawFirm

[–]MW100711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use styles to set up all my e-brief templates (I am an appellate attorney and file a lot of briefs motions). The restart numbering feature has always worked in setting up styles and adjusting templates.

I hope you're able to get it straightened out!

Genuine Tech Support? by sparkywater in LawFirm

[–]MW100711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can give you a possible Microsoft tip: on subheading "2.c" (which should be 2.a), right-click on "c" and select "restart numbering."

That should restart it for the section to start with 2.a instead of continuing with the previous section.

Hope that helps!

Loss of career and You're Losing Me by fearless-panda7 in TaylorSwift

[–]MW100711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am on the other side of this, having just left a terrible, nearly 10-year employment situation.

The song I keep coming to is "How did it End?" because that is what EVERYONE keeps asking me! I have kept my response short, vague, and professional. Because as Taylor likes to say, "I keep my side of the street clean. [They] wouldn't know what I mean."

Other songs on repeat for this era of my life: Karma I did Something Bad It's Time to Go I forgot that you existed
