iPad in One Hour for Lawyers presents tips and lessons that will be useful to both new and advanced iPad users who are planning on using their iPads to assist them in law school or at work. It teaches readers how to set up the interface, multitask, sync files, manage pleadings, case law, contracts, and other legal documents. It also includes a handy list of the best apps for lawyers, plus dozens of keyboard and browser tips and shortcuts.
In a press release, Andrea Hartley, Chair of the ABA Law Practice Management Section says, “We are thrilled to partner with Apple to offer our cutting-edge legal publications as e-books in the iBookstore. iPad in One Hour for Lawyers, one of our bestselling titles of the year, is the perfect book to mark the launch of the e-book program.
