Applications on mobile computing devices for in-house counsel will become prevalent, more powerful and better integrated with legal practice. More prevalent because the devices they run on will be ubiquitous, exceedingly powerful because of speed and programming finesse, and easier to use because embedded in daily work.

Apps servicing larger programs will become common, such as visualization tools that can be triggered when an e-bill is reviewed.
