March brings madness for NCAA basketball fans, relief from the cold with the first day of spring and of course a bit of luck from the Irish on St. Patrick’s Day.

March also brings us to our monthly legal tech roundup of webinars and events this month for large law, small law and corporate counsel.  In addition, we’ve added a superb white paper and an analyst report for corporate legal that inside counsel won’t want to miss.  The white paper is the last item on this list.
