Article Abstract:
The ABA's Techshow 95 will take place in Chicago from March 30 to April 1, 1995. Since lawyers have grown more computer-literate, the focus of the show will be on leveraging integrated approaches to find solutions to problems. Six lawyers with computer experience in their practices share some of their discoveries relating to document assembly, time management, research on the Internet and moving towards a paperless office.
