Maximize the effective use of technology in your new solo and small firm practice by joining our legal technology expert, Barron Henley, as well as several established ISBA member experts at our upcoming Practice Institute. As an attorney and national speaker, Mr. Henley frequently teaches how to harness the power of technology in the practice of law. Mr. Henley provides answers, strategies and technologies to address your unanswered questions, such as:

1. What do I do when I have a drafting assignment, but have no helpful templates or forms to start with?
2. How do I organize my document and file management system?
3. How do I keep track of all of the tasks being loaded on my plate?
4. Where do I find the standard procedures I’m expected to follow when they aren't written down anywhere?
5. Can I use Microsoft Word more effectively and control complex formatting more easily?
6. What are the best ways to track and bill every minute of the day?
7. Is my firm missing the technological tools it needs or does it follow old, inefficient protocols?
