Lawyers are an interesting type. For a group of people so focused on advocating change, they certainly don't like when something in their profession changes. Heck, I know some lawyers that still get misty-eyed when you mention the days of typewriters.Enter John Browning.
John's book-- which is written like a true writer, not a lawyer (lawyers are generally poor writers thanks to law school) gives the practicing attorney everything he or she needs to know about how social media has and will impact the legal community. His thoroughly researched book gives the reader an outline not only of social media's place in litigation, but takes a gander outside the coutroom to truly give an all-encompassing look at what the digital age has and will do to the profession.
Get out of the Stone Age and buy this book-- you won't be disappointed.
