Virginia Trial Lawyers Association: “iPad for Trial Lawyers”

Next month, the VTLA is hosting an iPad seminar – from client intake to jury verdict.

We will focus on preparing for trial and making your case with the iPad. A comprehensive how-to guide will be included. You will learn how to (1) build a trial notebook, (2) organize documents in the cloud, (3) take digital notes, (4) present your case at trial, and more.

Here’s more information about the program and how you can register online.
