How Lawyers Use Evernote, by Tim Baran, Legal Productivity®
http://www.legalproductivity.com/practice-management/evernote-lawyers/
Evernote has so much potential. I have barely scratched the surface. This is a tool I definitely want to use and know more about. -CCE
Evernote is more than a note-taking application. We use it to store ideas, recordings, projects, tasks, images…The list is as comprehensive as we want it to be. Evernote allows us to offload our brain and organize our lives.
And how do lawyers use Evernote? I asked a few Evernote-loving lawyers. Here are their stories.

How One Law Firm Went Paperless: An Interview with Andrew Kucera, by Tim Baran, Rocket Matter
For years, law firms have talked about going “paperless.” It took some time to catch on. Scanners were sometimes more trouble than they were worth. It took money and many hours to convert all the files to a paperless system. It sounded like a good idea, but not everyone was convinced.
Things have changed. These days, going paperless makes good sense and good economics. No more filing or indexing pleadings? I can live with that.
This post from Rocket Matter makes good sense. If you decide to go that route, do not start until you look into file naming conventions. Pick one that is logical and easy to understand. Now you are on your way. -CCE
While putting together the Paperless Law Office E-Book, we thought, who better to learn from than a firm who went through the process? So we interviewed Andrew Kucera who was instrumental in helping move six-person Cuttone & Kucera, PC (now, Cuttone & Associates), a real estate and business law firm in Fresno, California, to a paperless operation. . . .

Everyone should be using a password manager. It provides a strong, unique password for each online account and keeps them all in a secure, encrypted, yet quickly accessible place. Our favorite, 1Password, just got even better.
Here are three of the many new enhancements:
- Login to Apps – Use 1Password to log into a growing list of your favorite apps and even update your passwords—all with just a tap!
- Login to sites in Safari browser on your iPhone – You can now fill 1Password Logins directly within Safari.
- Unlock with your thumb – After unlocking with your Master Password, get back into your vault in 1Password, Safari, and your favorite apps with just your thumb on devices with Touch ID. Check Settings > Security to learn how this works and pick your auto-lock time.
And, for the first time, 1Password is free for iOS devices.
I’ve used 1Password for a couple of years on my desktop, phone and iPad, and it’s quickly become indispensable. And, it keeps getting better!

Top 10 Legal TED Talks, by Tim Baran, Legal Productivity Blog
http://www.legalproductivity.com/op-ed/top-10-legal-ted-talks/
Have you heard of TED? It began in 1984 as a conference and now covers a wide range of topics in more than 100 languages. Think of it as a massive brain trust that shares great ideas and information.
Each of the law-related TED talks listed in this article are worthwhile on their own: (1) four ways to fix a broken legal system; (2) eliminate legalese by using plain English; (3) how to beat a patent troll; (4) how the Internet will change government; (5) laws that choke creativity; (6) copyright law; (7) why eyewitnesses get it wrong; (8) how technology could make crime worse; (9) the Internet and anonymity online; and (10) how great leaders inspire. -CCE

Know My App calculates an app’s data usage based on a typical user. It’s an average rather than a specific user’s data usage.
