Laptop Legal
Have laptop. Will travel. Practice Management for the mobile office.
Managed to update one of my other blogs to WordPress 2.7 and the latest Thesis theme — went pretty smoothly especially with OpenHook for Thesis. I did a whole new install and imported my old site and had my plugins installed and site configured pretty quickly (couple of hours total). I very much recommend upgrading [...]
WordPress doesn’t have a linkroll export function, though it does have an import function. Want access to your full set of links to export? Go to: /wordpressinstallfolder/wp-links-opml.php In your browser, and “save as”, making sure the extension is “.xml”. Bonus – Firefox 3 already recognises that it’s an OPML file (what links are stored) in [...]
I’ve just migrated one of the sites I maintain and had to re-edit the .htaccess file to allow /stats to be available. Before, every time I tried to visit foo.com/stats it went to a 404 error on my WordPress install (it couldn’t find the page). This is because I had URL rewriting turned on with [...]

Have laptop. Will travel. This site is for the solo and small firm mobile legal professional on both sides of the Atlantic -- including barristers, advocates, lawyers, attorneys, and solicitors of all stripes.
Laptop legal covers legal practice management for people who are in charge of it all -- marketing and rainmaking, web presence, client development, and of course, advising on the law. I like to use a mac and write about their use for legal professionals, but this site isn't limited by OS and if I see a useful tool, I'll write about it. Solutions for solo and small firms up to 25 people.
I'm an American lawyer living in the United Kingdom working as a legal consultant and IP strategist for universities, the public sector, and private clients. I've been to 36 US states and 12 countries, and am already on track to add a whole lot more. I still haven't been to Canada, but make me an offer and I'll be there.
I've worked on my laptop in planes, trains, and automobiles, in coffee shops, pubs, bars, and restaurants, in libraries and in parks. You'll probably find me looking for a power outlet and an open wireless network.
