“ABA Tech Roadshow” coming to Michigan
Michigan is only the second state to be given the honor of hosting the ABA ‘Tech Roadshow.’ The Michigan Association for Justice will host the event in Dearborn on Oct. 1 at The Henry — An Autograph Collection Hotel (formerly the Ritz-Carlton). The event is an opportunity to learn all of the greatest technology tips to use at trial and enjoy popular sessions such as ‘45 Websites in 45 minutes’ and ‘30 technology and management tips in 30 minutes.’
The seminar will offer two tracks and will have two seminar rooms with two simultaneous speakers on two separate topics. Bring an associate because multiple attendees from the same firm receive a discount. Anyone can attend, you do not have to be an MAJ member or attorney. MAJ is flying in nationally recognized legal technology experts to compliment the
Michigan technology experts and attorneys presenters. Presentations will include: Going paperless — digital dictation; PDFing for lawyers — Speech recognition software; failsafe backups; popular software tips/tricks — e-faxing and Skype; dual monitors; disaster planning; video conferencing; latest courtroom tech tools; social networks; 7 tech-must haves for superlative client service; office management; mobile office and remote access, and more. In the spirit of the ‘paperless office’ there will be no paper material provided. Bring a laptop, material will be provided on thumb drives and wireless Internet is available.
Cost for MAJ members is $195. Cost for non-MAJ members is $225. For more information call MAJ: 517-321-3073 or email: maj@michiganjustice.org
