Asking for help is crucial to your success, both personally and professionally. Here are five ways to get better at asking for it and accepting it. Lawyers are expected to always know the answers, handle the pressure and not make mistakes. Wow! No wonder our jobs can cause us so much stress! Even when we are meeting these unrealistic expectations, we can benefit from letting others help us.

Nearly a year ago on my LawNext podcast , I interviewed Zach Posner , who cofounded The Legaltech Fund in 2020 as the first venture capital firm laser-focused on law and legal technology. At that point, the fund was still in the process of raising money from partners to invest, even as it had already begun investing in legal tech startups. . Now comes news that the fund has closed at $28.5 million, which exceeds its goal of $25 million.

Liza Vertinsky and Yaniv Heled are law professors who study how emerging technologies like genetic sequencing are regulated. They believe that growing public interest in genetics has increased the likelihood that genetic paparazzi with DNA collection kits may soon become as ubiquitous as ones with cameras. While courts have for the most part managed to evade dealing with the complexities of surreptitious DNA collection and testing of public figures, they won’t be able to avoid dealing with it fo

As a sports fan, I always like reading about “coaching trees.” Coaching trees are like family trees but they show how one coach produced other successful coaches who went on to other teams. While there is some disagreement about who has generated the greatest tree, many will point to Bill Walsh, one of whose early “branches” was Mike Holgren, whose own branches produced Andy Reid and Jon Gruden.

I listened to my favorite legal podcast as I traveled to my destination. (Not saying the podcast name, but here’s a hint: Figure it out FOR YOURSELF.) In discussing an ERISA case, the host talked about a former NFL player’s claim for “fulsome” benefits. Ouch! I involuntarily shuddered when I heard the term. He meant “full.”. “Fulsome” is one of those problematic words that, like a contranym , requires context to understand what the speaker or writer is trying to say.

In my last post, I discussed Airbnb’s Work Anywhere Policy. In this post, I take a closer look at what light it sheds on law firm management. LIFO (last in, first out) is one approach to managing inventory, but does it make sense for your workforce? For some organizations, the “last in” are employees who were hired remotely earlier in the pandemic and continue to work remotely.

With the acquisition last week by payments company AffiniPay , parent of LawPay , of practice management company MyCase , one intriguing aspect of the deal was that, until then, LawPay had been the legal tech equivalent of Switzerland, partnering with virtually every practice management platform, but always neutral as to which should win the competition for the market.

Kevin Kelly is a Web Maverick and by his own definition, a futurist. This discipline is comprised of really keen historians who study the past to see the future. They look carefully at the past because most of what will happen tomorrow is already happening today. In addition, most of the things in the future will be things that don’t change, so they are already here.

Commonplace books are an old-school hack. Old school as in Marcus Aurelius used one. Seneca and Leonardo da Vinci swore by them. I use one, and I remember making calls on a party line. Commonplace books are not diaries, and they’re not exactly journals. They don’t record your thoughts as much as thoughts by other people. Quotes. Snatches of conversation.

Resize Active Screens The key combination I use the most is the Window Logo and the arrow keys. It will automatically resize the active screen. For instance, if I press Logo + right arrow, it will place the screen on the right and be half of the screen. This came in handy for users who happen to have two monitors and want to automatically resize the window without having to use the arrows.

For many, this will be the first time celebrating Juneteenth. We asked Zenell Brown to guide us through the new federal holiday and its history. On June 17th, 2021, President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. That act established Juneteenth as a federal holiday. This year, many states, counties, local municipalities, and private businesses are following the federal government’s precedent and for the first time will close up shop in observation of Juneteenth.
