One of the reasons I created this blog was to help lawyers and other professionals figure out how the iPad can be used in their day-to-day business. To that end, I’ve collected a series of posts from lawyers across the Web in which they explain how they’ve been using their iPads.

• iPad at Trial - Mac Litigator
• The 3 stages of iPad infatuation OR How to justify buying an iPad to your business manager - Stasiuk Firm blog
• Will Lawyers Use the iPad in Law Practice? - Lawyerist (disclaimer—I wrote this post)
• Why I Plan to Buy an iPad for Teaching - Prawfsblawg
• New Website and iPad Review - New York Small Business Law

If you’d like to comment on this post, you can do so on at the Legal iPad Facebook page.

A reader emailed me and asked if I knew of any statistics regarding how many lawyers actually used their iPads in their law practice. I hadn’t seen any, so I figured I’d conduct an informal poll.

So, please let me know how you’re using your iPad by voting in this poll and providing specifics information as to how you use the iPad, whether in your practice or otherwise, in the comments that follow the poll.

I recently became involved in a really interesting new project: The Xemplar. It’s a new website devoted to innovative solo and small firm attorneys that lead the way and make a postive impact on our profession and their communities.

Each month, a new “Xemplar” is nominated and their story is featured, along with related articles and discussions written by me, my Social Media for Lawyers: The Next Frontier co-author, Carolyn Elefant, and others.

I’m honored to serve on the advisory board of the Xemplar along with (in alphabetical order) Bob Ambrogi, Rodney Dowell, Carolyn Elefant, and Gina Madsen.

This month’s Xemplar is Stephanie Kimbro, a pioneer in the field of virtual law office technologies.

Read all about Stephanie in the feature article: Steph Kimbro: Standing Tall Among Giants. This month’s related articles include The Case for Lawyering on the Front and Where’s the Next Law Office? Virtually Anywhere.

We just nominated next month’s Xemplar—a criminal defense attorney in the trenches, fighting for justice—so stay tuned.
