The Dell XPS 13 is a great-looking, well-built, and well-integrated ultrabook. One of the last ultrabooks to market, Dell used its time wisely to put together what is definitely the best ultrabook I’ve reviewed. I’m kind of in love with it, actually. And while it certainly takes some styling cues from the Macbook Air, it [...]

Why in the world would anyone combine a stylus and pen? Why in the world would anyone put the stylus nib where the eraser ought to be? Why in the world would you put a cheap ballpoint cartridge in a $35+ pen? The Alupen Pro iPad stylus poses all of these questions, but it doesn’t [...]

Minnesota consumer lawyer Bryan Battina got this letter from his nephew, Charlie, who is interested in suing Skyzone, which is apparently an indoor trampoline park. Two things. First, Charlie’s letter is adorable. Second, INDOOR TRAMPOLINE PARK! Why was I not aware of this? This Potential Client’s Letter is Adorable is a post from the law [...]

Pro se litigant Kyle Greene, like many pro se litigants before him, felt put upon by the judicial system. Determined to do something about it, he filed a “Motion for Disclosure of Chamber of Papers,” demanding U.S. District Court Judge Patrick Schiltz’s bench memo because he “suspect[ed] he was the victim of a law clerk [...]

Internet marketing & advertising company Yodle has been off our radar for a while. I first wrote about Yodle back in May 2009, I got a call from a pushy Yodle salesperson, and I expressed my annoyance on Lawyerist: what Yodle actually does, as far as I can tell, is employ a bunch of jerks [...]

Alison Monahan, writing at Ms. JD, certainly thinks so. As the father of two little girls, I’m on high alert for anything that could get in the way of them being whatever they want to be. But as I reflect on my own law school and law practice experiences, I have to admit I’ve seen [...]

Ambir makes document scanners that are apparently widely used in the healthcare industry, and the company is just starting to push into the legal industry. It sent me the ImageScan Pro 820i when I asked for a scanner comparable to the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500, and at first glance, that’s exactly what it is: a compact, [...]

According to the ABA’s law school placement survey, “Nearly two-thirds of new grads who go into the private sector are going to small law firms rather than BigLaw, an analysis of ABA data shows.” I’m not surprised, really.

The Griffin iPad stylus is essentially identical to the Boxwave stylus. The only noticeable difference is the clip on the Griffin, which is a bit heavier, and feels more sturdy.

To the extent it is known at all, Thomas Cooley law school is mostly the butt of jokes, often about its independent law school ratings in which it appears second every year. (Apparently, Cooley doesn’t think its rankings would be credible if Cooley came out ahead of Harvard.) But now, Cooley has a new hobby [...]
