Can you hear me now? 5 Tips for Effective Client Communication

Nov 26, 2013

"The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place." George Bernard Shaw Those legal professionals who are effective in client communications are those who stop, for just a moment, to reflect upon who their clients are, the client's personal make up and whether they are in the legal field familiar with legal terminology. To be effective is knowing that both the receiver and the communicator’s interests and backgrounds are considered. That means a good communicator has listened to his receiver. Clients always prefer appropriate language that meets their level of understanding and expectations while avoiding... Read more →

5 Good Reasons Public Speaking May Not Be Working For You

Jul 29, 2011

According to public polls, the number of people suffering from a fear of public speaking trumps fear of death. This has always been hard for me to understand as I have always enjoyed the experience – public speaking that is, not death. In this day and age when getting heard is so important, public speaking has become a critical tool in moving your paralegal or legal career forward. So, what is this fear, exactly, and why is it so paralyzing? The truth is, we’re not really afraid of speaking in public. We’re terrified of being humiliated. It’s a subtle distinction,...

10 Unknown Google Tips

Apr 17, 2011

Someone sent me the following list of neat Google tricks. I wish I could give credit to the writer, so forgive me about that. If anyone knows, let me know. However, here are new ways to use Google that we all can use: 1. Definitions Pull up the definition of the word by typing define followed by the word you want the definition for. For example, typing: define bravura would display the definition of that word. 2. Local search Visit Google Local enter the area you want to search and the keyword of the place you want to find.

"Deleting embarrassing e-mails isn't easy, experts say"

Apr 13, 2007

So, you think those embarrassing emails sent to the computer's trash can are truly deleted, right? Uh, no: "If Karl Rove or other White House staffers tried to delete sensitive e-mails from their computers, experts said, investigators usually could recover all or most of them. "The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating whether the White House or the Republican National Committee erased 'a large volume of e-mails' that may be related to the firings of eight U.S. attorneys. [snip] "Deleting a document or e-mail doesn't remove the file from a computer's hard drive or a backup server.... Read more →

"Ten Must-Have Apps for the Solo Practitioner"

Apr 03, 2007

More helpful info from Rick Georges, author of the FutureLawyer blog [links below from original post]: "This month I'm focusing on application software. Although there are different software preferences for every lawyer, I'm sticking to Windows, since most lawyers use it. As with last month's article, 'Ten Must-Have Web Sites for Solo Practitioners,' picking the best of anything is difficult, so I'll focus on what I use every day in my practice. I'm sure I'll hear from you about software you use, that I missed. [snip] "As with last month's article [Ten Must-Have Web Sites for Solo Practitioners], there are... Read more →

"Five Things You Should Know About Fighting Spam"

Feb 21, 2007

Sadly, this scenario sounds all too familiar! But there's a good reason: "When you started your e-mail client this morning, you were prepared for the usual set of correspondence: your daily dose of corporate politics, a dollop of technical emergencies and the background hum of projects under way. Annoyingly, your inbox also contained a few messages advertising products you would never buy, and perhaps a phishing notice warning that your account was frozen at a financial institution where you don't have an account. Your company has antispam measures in place; surely, the IT staff should be able to keep this... Read more →

"Paralegals and Smartphones"

Feb 13, 2007

I'm not saying you should buy a smartphone, but the Indiana Paralegal Association rightly points out the value of quick email replies: "I am willing to go out on a limb with this one, but I have come to the conclusion that smartphones are quickly becoming a requirement for paralegals. Whether we like it or not, we live in a world of invisible fences and constant communication (as one of my collegues constantly reminds me). Several weeks ago, I finally broke down and purchased the Samsung Blackjack smart phone (I highly recommend this phone to anyone interested in a slim... Read more →

"RIM announces Blackberry 8800"

Feb 13, 2007

Yay! It's way past time to get a new Blackberry, isn't it? "Research in Motion (RIM) today announced a new Blackberry smartphone. The new 8800 merges the form factor of the traditional Blackberry with the piano-black design of the 8100. The new phone comes with integrated GPS and a n illuminated 'Pearl' trackball. "Other than the original 8100 Pearl, the 8800 tries to appeal to traditional Blackberry customers with a security-focused, but enhanced feature set. As the original Blackberry devices, the 8800 is wider than the 8100 and offers a full QWERTY keyboard." Oh yeah, it's stylish! Read more →

"27 Tips for Teleconferencing"

Jan 29, 2007

Wow, this is a remarkably smart list! Stuff I hadn't even thought about. (Links below are from the original post.): "Whether you call them conference calls or telecons or excruciatingly dull time-wasters, multi-participant phone conversations are as important to most web workers [& paralegals] as email. If you can’t meet face to face or arrange video conferencing, the conference call is the next best thing. But just as with email and instant messaging, people don’t always agree on how to use them as effectively as possible as a tool for collaboration. "Try these tips for your next telecon whether you’re... Read more →
