This document summarizes various web sites that were presented at the 2009 ABA TECHSHOW conference that may be useful for lawyers. It lists websites for sending large file attachments for free, finding registered agents, printing documents more efficiently and securely, researching government information, mobile applications, meeting with clients online, Mac software for legal work, and learning to use Adobe Acrobat. The document was published in the August 2009 issue of a newsletter from the Professional Liability Fund that provides malpractice prevention education for Oregon lawyers.
