About SlawTips
Three times each week — on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays — SlawTips publishes tips for lawyers and those working with law. Our aim is to keep them short and sweet, tips you can put to work without a lot of fuss and bother.
We publish tips in three broad areas: technology, practice, and research.
The editor for the technology tips is Dan Pinnington. As the Director of practicePRO at the Lawyers’ Professional Indemnity Company (LAWPRO), Dan helps lawyers avoid malpractice claims. He is passionate about legal technology and wrote the just-published Busy Lawyer’s Guide to Success: Essential Tips to Power Your Practice.
David Bilinsky and Laura Calloway are the joint editors of the practice tips. Laura is the Program Director of the Alabama State Bar Practice Management Assistance Program. She helps members of her bar find practice management resources and learn more about the business side of their practices. She also writes the Simple Steps column for Law Practice. David is a lawyer and Practice Management Consultant and advisor for The Law Society of British Columbia. His area of expertise is enhancing a law firm’s profitability, developing strategic business planning and applying technology to the practice of law. Dave’s mission in life is to empower lawyers to apply practice management concepts to the practice of law in innovative ways that provide service excellence. He is the founder and current Chair of the Pacific Legal Technology Conference. You can visit his blog at: www.thoughtfullaw.com.
