LITIGATION AND PRACTICE SUPPORT

I try to use a combination of following thought leaders,
connecting on social media and reading the latest articles.
I've found great communities within ILTA, LinkedIn and even
Twier. I love reading articles in Peer to Peer, Litigation Support
Today, LexisNexis Law360, the BowTieLaw blog and Above The
Law.
We live in a prey amazing time. Social media can be
purpose-driven to find the professional movers and shakers
online. There are all kinds of webinars, podcasts and blogs you
can follow to stay current on the latest and greatest.
In terms of people to follow on Twier, I would point you to:
» @DavidLat
» @BowTieLaw
» @ChrisDaleOxford
For some great legal humor, follow:
» @LawyerThoughts
» @CriminelleLaw

How Do You Stay In-the-Know?
We asked members
of ILTA's Litigation
Support community
what resources they
use to stay in-the-
know as a litigation
support professional.
Here are some
responses.
I like to use various blogs and newsleers, including
PinHawk, Ralph Losey, Craig Ball, LegalTech News (which links
to articles from other sources), klGates case summary and Kroll's
case summaries. I also aend webinars by Exterra, kCura and
ACEDS.

I've found the best way to stay aware of who and what is out
there is by not saying "no" all the time. I reply –– even to most cold
calls. If I already know about the product/workflow/services being
offered, I'll respond with "thanks for your call/email, but we're all set
at this time." More oen, if time permits, I'll engage in a conversation
and or a demo to stay up to speed with the market. I won't be an
expert, but I'll have a basic knowledge.
My moos are:
» Never say never
» Try to be prepared for everything
It's impossible to be prepared for everything, but it's good to
have resources you can contact for a wide range of services, even if
you've previously never (never say never) had a need for them.
Webinars are another good resource. Some are basic, but there are
good ones from time to time, so I aend when I can.
