It is one of the biggest innovations in legal technology in the past two years. The iPad really paved the way for the rest of the industry with its' design. 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 day in court; these materials will give more of a general overview on using the iPad or other Tablets in your practice. What is it and Why? I like to describe the iPad or Tablet 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 and a lot of paper in a legal file or Redweld, the Tablet can become your legal pad and digital folder. It is sparking new life and re-defining the phrase “Paperless Law Office.” For courtroom work, the Tablet can be used to access exhibits, pleadings, and accompanying material. There are trial presentation apps now that make it easy to display those exhibits wired or wirelessly to projectors or monitors in the courtroom. iPad for Litigators Page 2 Overview of the iPad Front View Labeled iPad for Litigators Page 3 Back View of iPad - Labeled iPad for Litigators Page 4 WHY USE AN IPAD IN THE COURTROOM? For our courtroom discussion, we will focus on the iPad because of the courtroom-specific apps that are available for it. Certainly most attendees at this CLE presentation have seen an iPad at this point. The iPad has some drawbacks, but essentially it is so good for the courtroom because it is so light and easy to hold and operate. It is very easy to understand, with little training required. (In fact there is virtually no training for those who use an iPhone.) Among the often cited negatives of the iPad is the fact that it has no USB port for plugging the device into other devices and the battery is not removable and replaceable. The first iPad did not have a camera and the iPad 2’s camera is certainly less than the state-of-the-art. However the fact that it can use Apple's FaceTime application for video chatting with other iPad and iPhone users makes the iPad 2 a significant improvement all by itself. The 3rd and 4th generation iPad significantly improved the display with the Retina display, and the camera is very good as well. The iPad has a 10.1 inch display, while many of its competitors have 7 inch displays. Because lawyers are so involved with the documents, it seems to me that the 10 inch display is far preferable. The iPad is primarily designed to be a content consumption device rather than a content creation device. You can store all of your music, electronic books, documents and other items
