Over the span of my career(s), I\u2019ve published more than 300 articles, made more than 250 presentations, and written several books. I like to write and most of the time, I have something worthwhile to say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started out as a “I need to write” for my consulting business: it was a necessity and definitely good for marketing my legal technology expertise. It gradually morphed into a “I need to write” because I love to write<\/em>. It’s become a passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most writers & authors (I use those terms interchangeably), I know my writing has improved over the years. Periodically, I’ll read an old article I wrote back in the late 80s \/ early 90s and realize not only how technology has changed (I\u2019m a computer guy), but also my writing style has changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know many of my lawyer friends can relate: even though “legal drafting” was a required course in law school, those first few “real-life” legal documents were not as honed as their current writing style. And no, that’s not just technology changes. Face it, it\u2019s a sign of experience and more important, a sign of maturity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in case you’re interested (you know you are), I published “What I’ve Learned in the Last 20 Years<\/em><\/a>” in 2008. This article in itself is a journey from DOS to Windows, from WordPerfect to Microsoft Word, and into the Internet and how the legal profession has changed over the course of “tech time.” Much of what I wrote eleven years ago is still prevalent in today’s wireless \/ cloud \/ social media \/ internet world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I\u2019m \u201cretired,\u201d I needed another challenge. I turned my attention to writing another book. I mentioned earlier I\u2019ve written several books. Here’s the list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
