One of my biggest irritations online is trying to read an article that is bombarded with ads. I’m all for ads, but not so many that it makes it almost impossible to read the articles. Even some of the best writing gets trashed. And it’s wildly challenging for people who have reading problems.

So I was very happy to read Legal IT Today (No. 22, June 2018).

The 38 page June edition did a remarkable way to showcase both the articles and the ads. It has excellent content and images. It’s fresh and easy to absorb — which makes both the ads and articles separated. Congrats to editor Jonathan Watson and the whole team. (Ironically, Watson’s  photo needs a much better picture. But that’s an easy fix.)

Among the many articles were well-known writers in our community, such as Ari Kaplan; Christy Burke; Sean Doherty;  Andrea  Miskolczi, Jeff Norris, Greg Inge.

I was delighted to participate in “The Verdict” — where we proclaimed our views of the title “Thought Leader.” The four views were given by Felicity Badcock (Chief Information Officer at King & Wood Mallesons); Arup Das, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer at Alphaserve Technologies;  Keith Lipman, President, Prosperware; and my cranky voice. 🙂 Great fun!

Congrats to the entire Legal IT Today team!
