This blog post is a combination of a legal technology opportunity and related news.  Sometimes you just need to get a lot out on the table, so here we are.
Legal Technology Opportunity:
Recently I read about a really neat opportunity for students. With this offering, students collaborate with a not-for-profit organization to identify common legal problems that can be answered through a series of structured questions.

Each week I plan to share my "Top 3" preferences of Legal/Technology articles. For the week of Jan 14-18,  my curated list is seen below.

Why do Legal Firms need Cloud Storage?
Lawyers have a busy schedule, with meetings, court dates, case reviews, and so on. They have plenty of tasks to complete, people to see, and places to go.

I'm all about using less technology during the holidays.

As one of Cima's newest team members,  I have been focused on learning our motivations and solutions as quickly as I can, wanting to reach our expectations,  and aim even higher (I think I just figured out why I was nicknamed the teacher's pet).  Customer care is important over here, so as I was scrolling through LinkedIn this morning, I came across an article that caught my eye.
