For

We
can offer some highly focussed advertising
and promotional opportunities, including
flyer inserts within the Insider newsletter
and banner & button ads on our award
winning web site. For
more information, please email ads@legaltechnology.com
For
PR agencies
We are interested in all news stories, product
launches, orders, staff appointments, corporate
news and application stories/case studies
that are of genuine relevance to our readers
but, unlike some other publications, we
do not carry any advertorial or sponsored
features. We are happy to receive press
releases via email as, plain text, attached
Word files or PDFs but we do not use photos
nor illustrations. Also, because we are
solely news rather than advertising features
driven we do not publish a conventional
'August special focus on legal accounts
systems' type features list. Instead, if
something is topical, we report it. One
final point to note, as it does cause confusion
from time to time, is we only look at legal
IT from the point of view of the technology
lawyers use, as distinct from the legal
issues surrounding the use of technology
generally.

Latest:Is
DDS interim technology?
In our latest Readers’ Poll, we
asked whether digital dictation is a
transitory, interim technology(*) that
will be rendered redundant by newer
developments? We had a good response
and saw some very definite views expressed.
We are taking a summer break from surveys
and will be back with our next one in
the autumn.
