Mobile Apps for Law Students

What: We will cover 10 apps in 30 minutes.  I will summarize the pros and cons of each app.  We will move quickly through the apps and if time permits, students can share some of their favorite apps.   Plus, I will have an iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard available for law students to try out.

Level: Introductory.  This talk is for the novice user or law students who are considering upgrading to a smart phone.
