Online workshop looks into litigating with an iPad

For those who want to know how to use an iPad to enhance a legal practice, the State Bar of Michigan will present a “iLitigate on an iPad Workshop” online Wednesday, January 18, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. via Zoom. This workshop, co-sponsored by the SBM and the Litigation Section, will feature Brett Burney.

In the session, Burney will cover how the iPad can be helpful in a practice and how to copy the documents needed from a computer over to an iPad. He will also teach how to summarize transcripts from depositions and hearings on an iPad for quick reference and searchability, create helpful reports, and conduct review and e-discovery, manage transcripts and present from an iPad during trial.?

Burney speaks nationwide about technology-related topics to lawyers and legal groups. He is an advocate for legal professionals taking advantage of technology, helps firms overcome e-discovery challenges, and teaches lawyers how to integrate Mac and iOS devices into their practices. He is co-author of the American Bar Association book “Macs in Law: The Definitive Guide for the Mac-Curious, Windows-Using Attorney” and served as chair of the ABA TECHSHOW Planning Board in 2015.
