It is one of the biggest innovations in legal technology in the past two years. The iPad’s design is ingenious and handsome. Its functionality is equally as nice and continues to improve as legal software developers rush to create apps for lawyers. Several new legal-specific apps appear almost on a weekly basis. Tablets have integrated themselves into the workflow of attorneys irrespective of firm size or practice area, and nowhere has that been more true than at trial. From note taking, to exhibit marking and handling, to deposition transcript management, these little computers can supercharge your litigation practice. Our presentation will discuss how to use tablet computers to enhance your presentations; these materials will give more of a general overview on using the iPad in your practice. What is it and Why? I like to describe the iPad as an “instant-on” computer that you can control with your finger. There’s no booting-up process … no keyboard needed … It is instant access to information traditionally accessed from your desktop computer or laptop. It was designed as a “consumption” device … a device used primarily for reading/accessing information and very light typing, but it’s ease-of-use and big screen is so addicting that it has morphed and has been adapted to do way more than Apple and Steve Jobs originally intended. If you carry around a legal pad or folders, the iPad can become your legal pad and digital folder. It is sparking new life and re-defining the phrase “Paperless Office.” iPad for CLE

  • Muralinaction Faith Matters ( Launched in 2006 As a Vehicle to Enable Faith Communities to Reduce Conflict Using Conflict Resolution Tools
    #MuralInAction Faith Matters (www.faith-matter.org) launched in 2006 as a vehicle to enable faith communities to reduce conflict using conflict resolution tools. Faith Matters works on integration, cohesion, hate crime and countering extremism projects. Faith Matters was one of six organisations working together to address the increase in anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim sentiments in Europe by supporting tolerance and respect for different faiths, religious beliefs and ethnicities within MURAL (‘mutual understanding, respect and learning’), a project that ran from 2018-2019 in six European countries – Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and the United Kingdom. The MURAL project was led by the British Council. It promoted the principles of pluralistic and democratic societies. It aimed to foster transnational cooperation, exchange of knowledge and exchange of best practice to encourage tolerance and counter attitudes that contribute towards acts of hatred and discrimination. MURAL partners brought together an empowered network of social activists and key stakeholders who became agents of positive change in their communities. The project harnessed people’s power for advocacy and their desire for social change to creatively engage the people they live and work with. Some of the MURAL social action projects led by Faith Matters UK participants were around improving critical thinking and social media literacy skills that can help counter extremist, hateful, and racist narratives online, assist in identifying bots and cyborgs, and provide practical ways to resist and counter extremist narratives. As part of this, Faith Matters UK participants have developed this series of toolkits to provide practical and legal information around discrimination and hate crimes.

  • Firefox Android Reader Mode
    Firefox android reader mode Continue Image: Firefox Development Firefox Preview, Firefox's restored Android app, is moving smoothly together, and this week one of its best features received a substantial update. Mozilla added browser extension support to Firefox Preview back in February, but you can only install one addition: uBlock Origin. Mozilla's latest test builds for Firefox Preview have added five more add- ons to the mobile browser that can be installed from the app settings, and they're all stunning: Screenshot: Brendan HesseDark Reader - automatically includes a dark mode for (most) websites, even if the page usually doesn't have one. HTTPS Everywhere - Adds HTTPS encryption to websites whenever possible. NoScript - Warns you about potentially dangerous web-page scripts and lets you decide whether they will be running or not. Privacy Badger - Blocks internet trackers hidden on the sites you visit. Image Search - Allows you to select and reverse search for images of any images you find while viewing. These new add-ons are available in the latest version of the developer's Firefox Preview. You can try them early by downloading Nightly Build from Google Play. While Night builds are designed for developers and often suffer from stability issues, downloading it so won't re-write any other version of Firefox Preview you've installed. If something doesn't work, you can just delete the browser and swap back for the more stable version of Firefox Preview you used before. New additions should be available in other versions of the app soon anyway. How to install add-onsInstall Firefox Preview Night Assembly from Google Play Store.

Informatics programs are technological-oriented in nature, hence students and academics themselves would arguably be quite adept at using SMTs. Students undertaking Informatics programs are trained to thrive in challenging, advanced technical environments as manifestations of the fast-paced world of Information Technology. Students must be able to think logically and learn “how to learn” as “knowledge upon demand” is one of the expected capabilities of Informatics graduates.
