The legal industry is changing around us.

As Browning Marean -- who we get to know in this issue--says, "[T]echnology is an involuntary revolution. Involuntary in the sense that at the end of the revolution there are either going to be victims of the revolution or foot soldiers in the revolution. And needless to say, I would opt for being a foot soldier."

How does technology specifically affect the legal world? Social networking and blogs allow lawyers to compare experiences and make connections.

It can be overwhelming to meet your goals in a climate of such rapid change. If you'd like to partner with someone who can help you find your place, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Lumen Legal. We'll help you figure out where your skills fit best.

Be sure to let me know if you have any comments, and please forward this newsletter to colleagues who may find it informative.

New Social Network for Lawyers Lets Attorneys, Clients Mingle and Share Online

Online social networks have revolutionized the way people meet, interact and even do business with one another. Until now, no such site has catered specifically to lawyers. JD Supra--a new networking and file-sharing site for lawyers that is now in Beta--and its creator, Aviva Cuyler, hope to provide a venue for the legal community to share work, offer potential clients a means of locating an attorney, and create a bridge between the media and the legal field.

Legal Industry Insight checked in with Jason Baron, Editor-in-Chief of The Sedona Conference Best Practices Commentary on the Use of Search and Information Retrieval Methods in e-Discovery, and John Rosenthal, a member of the Sedona Conference working group on Electronic Document Retention and Production to discover their thoughts.
