This document provides an overview of how to operate a virtual law office and deliver legal services online. It defines key terminology like virtual law practice and eLawyering. It discusses the technology, ethics concerns, and various models for virtual law practices, including being completely web-based, integrating with a traditional law office, or using a virtual office for unbundled legal services. It also covers choosing technology providers, startup costs, marketing a virtual law practice, and future innovations.
This is a presentation I gave to the South Carolina Law Review Symposium entitled: On Task?: Expanding the Boundaries of Legal Education, February 28, 2014.
This is the updated and revised edition of the ebook, Practicing Law Online. This revised edition focuses on the business models of virtual law firms that have emerged and goes beyond solos and small firms to apply the business model to larger firms and in-house legal departments. The ebook walks the reader through the process of choosing a virtual law firm business model and examines methods of online delivery that work best with the firm’s practice area and client base.
These are the slides from my presentation to the ABA Commission on the Future of Legal Services. I covered the basics of virtual law practice but also gamification, games, and online engagement for legal services. The video for this presentation is here: http://bcove.me/4tmkn2x1
Unbundled legal services, also called limited scope representation or discrete task representation, may be used by a variety of law practices from solos to large law firms to serve an large market of unmet legal needs. Technology exists to assist the attorney in streamlining the unbundling process by using document automation and assembly programs that make unbundling legal services a cost-effective form of delivering legal services to the public. However, attorneys providing limited scope representation should be aware of certain ethics risks and best practices. Whether unbundling is handled in a traditional firm setting or through the use of technology, attorneys should be aware of the benefits and risks of this complementary method of delivering legal services to their clients.

DTI White Paper - WHY MOVING TO MANAGED SERVICES NOW MAKES SENSEJessop Fowler
If you’ve not recently reviewed a “Managed Services Model”, I encourage you to do so, leaving traditional discovery practices behind. The traditional model is a Data Security nightmare and will cost you sooner than later. Recent increases in the costs and risks associated with data breaches at major law firms are forcing corporate legal departments to reevaluate how their discovery is handled. Corporations are now discovering the old way of doing things is extremely inefficient, risky and expensive for companies routinely involved in litigation.
What do you have to lose?
• Control - By allowing individual law firms to manage the process, corporations are allowing their data to be moved to various locations, which is incredibly difficult to control.
• Security - There is no way of properly vetting the security of the data if the outside law firm is controlling where the company’s data goes.
• Money - Corporations lose out on the ability to consolidate the work with a dedicated, outsourced provider, as well as the negotiation power of volume-based discounts for the work.
By freeing themselves from this traditional model and turning to a managed service model, corporations can engage a third-party provider to create a discovery management program – saving your legal department time, risk and money.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.
