Last week, Lynn Jackson litigation attorney, Cassidy Stalley, and two of Lynn Jackson’s litigation paralegals attended the ABA TECHSHOW. The ABA TECHSHOW is billed as the best conference for “bringing lawyers and technology together.” “For more than 30 years, lawyers and legal technology enthusiasts . . . have been coming to the ABA TECHSHOW to learn how technology helps them work smarter, practice more efficiently, and deliver higher quality legal services to client.”

The Lynn Jackson team spent two days immersing themselves in the latest technology and learning about the most useful and practical legal technologies available. The team attended numerous CLEs, engaged in conversation with various vendors, and participated in demonstrations of the latest and greatest legal technologies. The team gathered information to bring back to the firm to continue Lynn Jackson’s tradition of providing the most up-to-date, resourceful, diverse, responsive, and excellent legal representation to our clients.

About the ABA TECHSHOW

Technology is becoming fully integrated in the practice of law. Our legal work is now more dependent on the use of technology, in and out of the office. It helps us to practice more efficiently, serve clients more effectively, and better manage our daily lives.

As technology evolves, it can be difficult to stay informed of the latest advancements. With so many different options to choose from it can be difficult knowing what’s the most suitable to you and your practice. This is where ABA TECHSHOW can help.

The ABA TECHSHOW Conference and EXPO is where lawyers, legal professionals, and technology all come together. For three days, attendees learn about the most useful and practical technologies available. Our variety of CLE programming offers a great deal of education in just a short amount of time.

But there’s more to ABA TECHSHOW than the educational programs; attendees also get access to the EXPO Hall where legal technology vendors are eager to demonstrate their helpful products and services. Touch, Talk, and Test your way through more than 100 technology vendors.
