First, the American Bar Association recently published 2 books ideal for lawyers seeking to learn how to put their iPads to use: “iPad in One Hour for Lawyers” and “iPad Apps in One Hour for Lawyers.” Both books were written by Tom Mighell and are available for purchase at the American Bar Association’s website.
There are also a number of blogs devoted to lawyers and their iPads, including: 1) Tablet Legal, a blog written by attorney Josh Barrett (no longer being updated but provides a wealth of information in its archives), 2) iPad Notebook, a blog written by Justin Kahn, an attorney and Adjunct Professor at the Charleston School of Law, 3) iPad 4 Lawyers, a blog written by Tom Mighell, author of the two books listed above, and 4) Legal iPad, which is one of my blogs.
Two other blogs are worth mentioning as well, since even though not devoted solely to iPads, they provide a wealth of information about iPads for lawyers: 1) iPhone JD, written by attorney Jeff Richardson and 2) Trial Technology, a blog written by trial consultant Ted Brooks.
Another great resource which should not be overlooked is the Macs in Law Offices (MILO) online Google group.. Although this online forum originally started as a place for lawyers to discuss the use of Macintosh computers in their law practices, over time it has morphed into a forum dedicated to the discussion of topics of interest to lawyers who use any type of Apple product in their law offices, including iPads.
At MILO you’ll find a very engaged, knowledgeable, and friendly group of lawyers and technology consultants who provide a wealth of useful information. And, if you enjoy participating in MILO, then you’ll love MILOfest, an offshoot project of the message board which is a conference devoted to lawyers who use Apple products.

Last week my friend and fellow iPhone/iPad addict Jeff Richardson gave a great review of PDF Expert. He liked it, but not as much as his current favorite PDF annotation tool, PDF Pen. I thought I would put both of these apps through their paces, along with iAnnotate PDF and Adobe Reader, which has long been the standard for PDF review and annotation on your desktop or laptop.
I decided to use the same document in each case – I chose a simple W-9 form, because it would also give the opportunity to test and show the form-filling and signature features of each app. I’ll fill out the form to send to my client for him to sign. I initially placed the form in the Downloads folder in my Dropbox account on my desktop. How did the form fare in each app? Here we go….

In the end, the court had no concerns about the ability to assess credibility during a Skype session with the mother and her new husband, accepted their evidence relating to their constrained financial circumstances, and found that the overall balance of convenience – including the lack of prejudice to the father – favoured allowing the cross-examination via Skype to proceed.

…CloudOn is free. The company behind it says that it plans to switch to a “freemium” policy at some point, with both free and for-pay options. For now, though, it lets iPad users do something which you can’t do on a Windows PC: use full-blown Office applications at no charge.
CloudOn makes for an interesting contrast with OnLive Desktop, another service which lets you use Office on an iPad (and, in OnLive’s case, Android tablets — CloudOn is working on an Android edition). OnLive has both a free version and one that costs $4.99 a month, with additional tiers of service on their way.
