Since I have been devoting a good deal of time to Oklahoma Bar Circle
for this issue of the Oklahoma Bar Journal, Law Practice Tips will
be rather brief.
The last presentation of ABA TECHSHOW 2009 was 60 Sites in 60 Minutes,
a program that is likely the longest running tradition of ABA TECHSHOW.
I was honored to be asked to be one of the four panelists on that presentation
this year. I thought I’d pass along a few sites to you this month.
NICB's VINCheck (http://tinyurl.com/cavpop)
is a service provided to the public to assist in determining if a
vehicle has been reported as stolen, but not recovered, or has been
reported as a salvage vehicle by cooperating NICB members. To perform
a search a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is required. A maximum
of 5 VINCheck searches can be conducted within a 24 hour period.
iPhone J.D. is a site for lawyers using iPhones. www.iphonejd.com
The Association of Corporate Counsel has many downloadable documents
and resources that could benefit corporate counsel. www.acc.com/legalresources/quickreferences
DimDim is an interesting web conferencing service that is free. www.dimdim.com
Babelfish from Alta Vista translates languages. Just paste in the
text. A large number of languages are included in the database. http://babelfish.altavista.com
PC Hell: You’ve been there before and you likely will be going back
again. The site features trouble shooting tips to get you out of
the frying pan and back into productivity. http://www.pchell.com
Apple Small Business – Legal – Even though this site appears to be
a marketing site “above the fold,” scroll down and you will find
that it is really a comprehensive site for all things lawyer and
Mac. It has lists with links to all legal-specific Mac software,
downloads and links to other resources like Randy Singer’s MacAttorney
Newsletter. http://www.apple.com/business/solutions/legal.html
And, finally, if you want to see all of the sites profiled at ABA
TECHSHOW’s 60 Sites in 60 Minutes, you can see them all here: http://tinyurl.com/dll6cm Most are very useful, but it was the end of a long conference, so
we tossed in several that were just for fun.
