Ashley Hallene co-authored Technology Tips for Seniors, also released in 2016, which reflects on how the importance of technology in the legal professional has grown dramatically.

More and more state bars are coming to the same conclusion. Technology can help lawyers practice more efficiently and effectively. As a result, attorneys of all ages have grown increasingly interested in learning about technology. This book was designed as an easy-to-follow resource to ensure that attorneys become proficient using the many tools of the digital age in which we live and practice. The book answers a wide variety of questions about modern technology and provides acronyms and examples for easy reference.
The guide includes tips for using your mobile devices, your computer, the internet, along with tips for sharing media and having an easier time traveling. |
