Adriana Linares and I had the idea years ago to do a live videocast from the ABA TECHSHOW. We made that a reality a few years ago. Steve Best joined the team last year when Adriana was chairing TECHSHOW. The Legal Talk Network has always produced the shows.

The 2018 TECHSHOW Today videos are now available on YouTube at the links below:

We have great fun doing these shows, but the shows have really strong comment and important insights. We had some fabulous guests this year and I recommend all of these episodes. Start watching and let us know what you think.

Now available: The new second edition of The Lawyer’s Guide to Collaboration Tools and Technologies: Smart Ways to Work Together, by Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell.

I developed a new presentation on technology competence and legal ethics for the recent Missouri Bar Lex Port 2015 conference.

Lex Port Start Slide

I took a new and practical approach and wrote the following as part of the handout materials. It largely reflects the direction I took in the presentation.

Let me know what you think of this approach.

Timely Technology Competence Tips for the Non-Technological Lawyer

The Key Text. Continue Reading Timely Technology Competence Tips for the Non-Technological Lawyer

There’s been a lot of discussion about how the definition of “competence” for lawyers also includes the duty to keep up with applicable technologies.

Talk can be cheap, but the good news is that doing something about learning about applicable technologies lawyers can be an inexpensive proposition, at least in the St. Louis, Missouri area.

lexportlogo_2015_DATED_70

Exhibit A on this topic is the Missouri Bar’s Lex Port 2015, which takes place on October 26 – 27 this year. Early bird pricing of $259 for up to 12.2 tech-focused CLE hours and up to 4.2 hours of ethics CLE. In Missouri, that will satisfy your ethics CLE requirement for two years.

There looks to be a ton of great sessions with some nationally-known speakers. Here’s the program brochure.

I’ve already turned in my handout materials – early. Just something for program planners to keep in mind about me.

I’ll be doing three presentations:

  1. Taking LinkedIn to the Next Level

    2. (more important now than ever)

  2. Technical Competence and the Rules of Professional Conduct

    3. (for Ethics CLE credit – a new presentation and a new approach to the topic from me)

  3. 50 Sites, Tips & Gadgets in 50 Minutes – with an all-star panel of Catherine Sanders Reach, Ben Schorr and Jeffrey Taylor

I like Lex Port because I always learn new things. If you are in the St. Louis area (or can make it there), it’s a great use of your time and CLE money. Registration information here.

Hope to see you there.

LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers (Second Edition), the new book from Allison Shields and me, is now available (iBook version also available). Our previous book, Facebook in One Hour for Lawyers, is also available (iBook version here). Also still available, The Lawyer’s Guide to Collaboration Tools and Technologies: Smart Ways to Work Together, by Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell.

Another ABA TECHSHOW (#ABATECHSHOW) blazed by and I barely have had time to catch my breath afterward. I also had little time to catch my breath at the show – it was a whirlwind.Podcasting portrait

The good news is that Tom Mighell and I captured our reflections on TECHSHOW in an episode of The Kennedy-Mighell Report podcast called, perhaps somewhat vaguely, “Dennis and Tom Go to ABA TECHSHOW,” which is the best place to get my thoughts on the show.

No surprise – I had a great time, met lots of old and new friends, had some great conversations, saw some interesting new products, learned a few new things and had some new ideas and potential projects. And I got to spend a lot of time hanging out with the great people at the Legal Talk Network (you know who you are).

At the end, I counted up that I had done three presentations, co-hosted a podcast, guested on a podcast, was on the critic’s panel for an Appathon, went to a Chicago legal tech meetup, had some great dinners and even found time for a trip to the Chicago Art Institute to visit some of my favorite Brancusi sculptures. I certainly got my money’s worth of that trip to Chicago.

If you use the hashtag #ABATECHSHOW, you can still find lots of great links to resources, photos and more.

I presented on the 60 Sites in 60 Minutes panel this year (I played the role of the serious one) – a first for me – and the list of the 60 or so sites is posted here. The whole notion of “sites” is an interesting one – some of my selections played with whole notion of what a “site” was anymore and whether the term still made sense.

I invite you to take a listen to the podcast episode. And I’ll hope to see you at TECHSHOW 2016 next year.

I wanted to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. It’s a good time to say “thnak you!” to my patient readers (and the impatient ones, too). I’m hoping to get back onto a regular blogging schedule soon.

I also wanted to highlight some of my recent podcasts, articles and other odds & ends.

Podcasting portraitTom Mighell and I just reached the 140-episode milestone for The Kennedy-Mighell Report podcast. It’s great working with the Legal Talk Network team on the podcast. I recommend subscribing to the the podcast (free) in iTunes or in a podcast app.

I mention subscribing because we often get questions about how best to download and listen to podcast episodes and how to receive them automatically when they are released. In episode 140, we took an in-depth and practical look at how to answers these questions and also how best to listen to podcasts. I can tell you that the key words are “subscribing” and “time-shifting.” The episode, called “The Fundamentals of Podcasts: Listening and Subscribing,” has a lot of practical advice and our reflections about the podcast medium (which we love).TKMR Logo

Other recent episodes:

A few recent articles:

My ABA Journal technology column is now called “Kennedy on Tech.” The most recent columns are:

Preparing for the ‘Internet of things’

Get the most out of PowerPoint and Keynote with the ‘Presenter View’

Speaking:

I do a limited amount of speaking these days (but am always happy to be asked). Recently, my “Ethical Cybersecurity for the Non-technical Lawyer” has been popular.

I have a LinkedIn presentation called “LINKEDIN TRAINING: TAKING YOUR CAREER DEVELOPMENT & NETWORKING INTO THE DIGITAL AGE” for the St. Louis Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel coming up on January 14 at the Ritz-Carlton in Clayton, MO. Details and registration information are here. Note that attendees will receive a copy of LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers, co-authored by Allison Shields and me. If you can’t attend or are looking for a great gift for the lawyer on your list (maybe even you), you can order a copy of the book at the ABA Bookstore.

And those are some of my recent podcasts, articles and other odds & ends. Best wishes for the holiday to all.

I’ve done a number of presentations lately in all sorts of formats – solo, duo, panels and webcasts. For the Kennedy-Mighell Report podcast on the Legal Talk Network, Tom and I decided to record an episode in which we shared some of our latest tips and observations about presenting. The result was the episode called “Presentation Tips for Legal Professionals.”
Kennedy-Mighell Report picture
After that podcast, we realized that we had barely tapped the surface of what we wanted to say on presentations, so I was able to talk Tom into recording two more episodes on presenting as part of a panel and presenting on webinars – “Panel Presentation Pointers for Legal Professionals” and “Webinar Presentation Pointers for Legal Professionals.”

As a result, we now have a three-part series with our latest thinking and tips about presenting. On the podcasts, we also talk about Heartbleed, the presenter mode in PowerPoint and the “right to be forgotten.”

We invite you to listen to all of the episodes and welcome your reactions, questions and tips of your own. We might even do a follow-up segment highlighting the best of the comments and tips we get. We also want to gauge the interest in a short book of presentation tips, probably in a low cost eBook format.

Get these episodes (and many more) on Legal Talk Network, on the ABA’s Law Technology Today blog, or, perhaps best of all, by subscribing to the podcast on iTunes.

It’s time for ABA TECHSHOW and I’m wrapping up my preparations. Hope to see you there. If you can’t be there, remember that you can get a peek of what is happening at the conference by checking out the Twitter hashtag #ABATECHSHOW. I’ll note that you can still get registered and attend. You can also get an Exhibit Hall pass for a day, and I always strongly encourage law students in Chicago to take advantage of special deals for law students.

I have a typically busy schedule, starting right away with an introductory “State of Legal Technology” panel presentation at the opening of TECHSHOW with Adriana Linares, Tom Mighell, Allison Shields and Paul Unger that will give a fast-paced summary of highlights from the 2013 ABA Technology Survey.

My main presentation is 2:15 PM on Friday, March 27, when Allison Shields and I will present a session on LinkedIn for Lawyers as part of the “How-to” track. We have decided on what we hope will be a great approach to learning LinkedIn. We’ll focus on LinkedIn Profiles and do some real-time editing of my LinkedIn Profile in an interactive way to help people learn how to edit their own Profiles and follow along and make changes during the session. I think this will be fun, practical and also result in me getting some updates to my own Profile actually done.

For people who want to talk more about LinkedIn after the session or can’t attend the session, Allison and I are hosting a Taste of TECHSHOW dinner on Friday night at Roy’s Hawaiian Restaurant. Be sure to sign up for the dinner before it sells out. For an even more radical approach, I believe there might still be an opportunity to sponsor the dinner.

Obviously, both the session and the dinner will help get the word out on our two new LinkedIn books, LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers (Second Edition) and LinkedIn in One Hour. LIOHFL 2ed Image

Allison and I have published a couple of LinkedIn articles in 2014: Fourteen LinkedIn Tips for 2014 and Making the Most of LinkedIn. Allison’s LegalEase blog also has great ongoing coverage of LinkedIn for lawyers. We’ll also be presenting a webinar on LinkedIn for Lawyers: Getting Real World Results from Online Networking for ALI CLE on April 7.

I’ll also be co-hosting a Taste of TECHSHOW dinner on Thursday night on the topic of living in two tech worlds (Mac and PC, iOS and Android, et al.). Tom will be speaking on iPads for Lawyers at the Chicago Apple Store on Michigan Avenue tonight. There’s also what should be another excellent LexThink .1 tonight.

I’ll also be working booths for the ABA Law Practice Division Publishing Board, the Legal Technology Resource Center, and the Conference Concierge booth (Saturday morning 8:00 to 9:30 (maybe the best time to talk to me)). I’ll also be involved in a “So You Want to Write for the ABA” session, where I’ll discuss ways to write for the Legal Technology Resource Center (a great opportunity for anyone interested in legal technology).

Wow, I’m going to be busy, but ABA TECHSHOW is always my favorite technology conference. And, as I’m sure I’ll be reminding myself, it’s the good kind of tired.

Hope to see you there. If you read this blog, be sure to introduce yourself.

LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers, Second Edition

This 90 minute seminar coincides with the launch of our new book, LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers, Second Edition, and attendees of the live webinar will receive an electronic version of the book.

Our presentation will be based on the new version of our book and will reflect our current thinking about LinkedIn and will cover recent changes to LinkedIn’s interface and features. Allison and I spoke today in preparation for the webinar and I’m excited about our newest approach to this material.

Here’s the description for the webinar:

Like many lawyers (and 225 million other LinkedIn users), you may have a profile on LinkedIn, but do you really know what to do with it? Beyond putting up an online “resumé” and adding connections to your professional network, do you know all the ways that LinkedIn can help you in your career?

In this essential CLE program on LinkedIn for Lawyers, learn how to leverage the world’s largest professional network to boost your own practice and profile! Whether you are a new or long-term user, this CLE program will give you helpful instructions and useful strategies for taking advantage of all of LinkedIn’s features, including navigating LinkedIn’s new interface, maximizing your profile, and connecting with referral sources, former classmates, former practice colleagues, peers, experts, and others, in effective, mutually beneficial ways.

Bonus! All registrants will receive a FREE copy of LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers (a $49.95 value) In addition, all registrants receive a set of downloadable course materials and free access to the archived online program later. Registrants will be able to view the archived online program on a mobile device.

What You Will Learn

After attending this practical webcast, you will be able to:

+ understand the many ways lawyers use LinkedIn and find the way(s) that work best for you

+ know the “Three Essential Building Blocks” of LinkedIn and how to use them to get the most value for the time you spend on LinkedIn

+ design and optimize your LinkedIn profile to create a strong professional social media presence

+ engage LinkedIn in the job search, recruiting, and interviewing process

+ develop focused, strategic approaches to networking with others on LinkedIn

+ use powerful advanced features of LinkedIn that many users are not even aware of

+ take advantage of new features (such as Endorsements), interface changes and mobile applications to take your use of LinkedIn to a new level

+ boost your professional presence and establish your niche among the 225+ million members of the LinkedIn community

Have a question for the faculty? This interactive seminar will give you the opportunity to submit questions to the faculty before and/or during the program. Send your questions to tsquestions@ali-cle.org.

I hope that you will be able to attend LinkedIn for Lawyers Reloaded on Thursday, or, if not, that you will mention it to friends and colleagues who might appreciate the webinar.

The second edition of LinkedIn in One Hour for Lawyers can be purchased through the ABA Store or in an iBook version on iTunes.
