Coming today to SmallLaw: Cedar Rapids Real estate lawyer Shannon Thompson tried some of the major cloud practice management systems but they didn't suit her workflow needs. So she decided to create her own cloud practice management system. Shannon is not a programmer.

Coming today to LitigationWorld: With judges approving the use of predictive coding, it seemed like this technology for quickly finding relevant discovery documents would soon become a standard. Therein lies the problem. As Tom O'Connor reports in this issue of LitigationWorld, fans of predictive coding can't decide how to standardize it so they have split into three camps. It's kind of like Betamax versus VHS. But fear not because Tom also has some good news about traditional ediscovery processing and review software. He points to some products that have changed their pricing models, thus becoming viable for use in small cases. Also, don't miss the LitigationWorld Pick of the Week for the benefits and risks of motions in limine.

Coming today to BigLaw: While Mark Zuckerberg admonishes his minions to "move fast and break things," that's a recipe for disaster in large law firms — and not just for legal work but also technology projects. Facebook may have more users, but there's a big difference between not being able to tag a photo and not being able to file a brief.

In this issue of BigLaw, he explains the three keys to keeping these projects on track and within budget.

Coming today to SmallLaw: Everyone's not a comedian. But thanks to blogs, everyone — or at least everyone with a computer and Internet connection — can become a publisher.
