Appellate Tech Talk
UT State and Federal Appeals CLE ()I was asked to give a brief talk on technology topics that affected appellate lawyers. The subjects included:
-
Using the technology of the Texas Supreme Court courtroom, including some thoughts about use of powerpoint by advocates in oral argument.
-
The importance of making permanent copies of web resources useful to your arguments.
-
The annoying practice of some appellate courts that only tell the publisher (Westlaw) about changes to opinion text rather than updating the PDF version made available to the public.
-
How advances in free (and paid) search tools mean we can never quite be sure what another reader will find when they do the same search.
