Thirty-nine posts is one better than the 38 summarizing the 2013 annual ILTA conference – the last time it was held in Las Vegas. In the 2015 summary, we’ve added the stats, quips and quotes, which is an idea borrowed from our summary in 2014.
There was an impressive volume of coverage stemming from the conference and especially solid summaries from the sessions – most notably from Legaltech News, Above the Law and the PinHawk Law Technology Daily Digest. The latter is a free email newsletter edited by Jeffrey Brandt, registered the “biggest readership gains” in 2014 and is essential reading for all things legal tech.
The mix below is a curated list including our own coverage and that from around the web. This year’s compilation is this week’s Friday Share.
