The Legal Implications of Social Networking
Fairfax Bar Association Paralegal Section
Fairfax, Virginia
“Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, Plaxo – they are inescapable facets of modern life. It’s hard to go through a single day without hearing something about social networking on the news, even for lawyers who do not utilize these tools. Did you know that lawyers have been sanctioned for using Facebook inappropriately? Judges have been reprimanded. Mistrials have been declared when jurors and witnesses “tweeted” from the courtroom. On the plus side, many a gold nugget of evidence has been gleaned from social networking sites and used to win a case. But there are ethical and unethical ways to obtain those nuggets. If all of this piques your interest, listen to our experts explain the upsides and downsides of social networking from a legal perspective. '”

How Good Lawyers Survive Bad Times
New York City Bar Association
New York, New York
“Is technology a help or hindrance to lawyers faced with the harsh realities and choices of a sputtering economy? The answer, without intending to be flip or obsequious is … “yes.” When a practice is faced with declining revenues due to consumer and commercial client cutbacks, the failure of client businesses, the unavailability of business credit, the total absence of commercial discretionary incoming, how can technology help?'”

"Hi Sharon and John,
One of the joys of being a lawyer-judge is meeting and working with you—people who are experts at what they do but who do not take themselves too seriously. You are my key link to technology, what lawyers are doing, and the forensic world I must keep abreast of as a judge."
"I cannot thank you enough for speaking at our National Bar Association meeting. I have already alerted our Judicial Council Program Chair for 2008 that I want you to run at least two more seminars. And yes, I subscribed to your blog!" — Federal Judge Gerald Bruce Lee
"Sharon and John:
This is fan mail! Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the seminar last evening. You were both knowledgeable and informative without being boring, and I felt like I got a lot out of your presentation. Thanks again for the good stuff last night!"

“I cannot say enough good things about them. John's depth of knowledge of computer forensics and how it relates to law and the developing area of e-discovery is amazing. Sharon’s knowledge is equally good and she has the 'common touch' and relates *SO* well to the people in the audience. They are both outgoing, enthusiastic and always keep in mind that the program comes first. The two of them are tireless workers their papers and presentations are wonderful.”
— David Bilinsky
Director of Education
Pacific Legal Technology Conference
"Thank you for your participation in our recent Family Law Seminar. We were pleased with the excellent quality of the program. Your presentations are always the best! I’m sure we’ll be calling on you again.
