As many ISBA-member iPhone and iPad users know, Fastcase was early out of the gate with a legal research app. Members told us that while they loved it, they'd love it even more if it linked to their ISBA Fastcase benefit desktop account. That way they could print, access their search histories, and contact Fastcase reference attorneys and technical support.
Fastcase told us some months ago that a connection like that was coming, and now it's here under the moniker "Mobile Sync."
Mobile Sync automatically syncs to your activity history and saved favorites on any of the Fastcase applications, so no work is ever lost. When you log in through your ISBA account, you see the favorites you saved on you iPhone or iPad. Searches performed on your desktop can be continued from anywhere using your iPhone or iPad, picking up right where you left off.
Fastcase posts instructions for setting up Mobile Sync. ISBA members log into Fastcase using the icon on the upper right at our website. -

On Broadway
Now that it's winter it’s the perfect time to escape the cold weather and head indoors for one of Broadways many new shows. And right now when you book through TicketsAtWork.com you can save up to $55 on any Broadway show. Hear the troubled love story of Porgy and Bess in the show that Time Magazine is calling “The number 1 musical of 2011.” The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess is a Broadway show that relives the classic love story between Bess, the troubled beauty, and the crippled beggar, Porgy, who took her in when no one else would. The Broadway musical revival features the classics “Summertime,” “Bess, You is My Woman Now,” and “I Got Plenty of Nothing.” For a lighter Broadway experience watch the razor-sharp comedy Chinglish – the story about an American businessman in a bustling Chinese province looking to score a lucrative contact for his family’s sign-making firm. And if a classic Broadway show is what you’re looking for don’t miss Godspell in an intimately staged, one-of-a-kind production at Circle in the Square Theatre. For more ways to experience Broadway this winter visit TicketsAtWork.com. -
