New technologies and communication tools are flooding our lives. And they raise an important question for lawyers: What gadgets and software are people using?1 Beyond the businessware common in law offices, there is the larger world of smartphones and Web 2.0 inhabited by clients, witnesses, jurors and criminal justice professionals. It is this technological realm that provides a new cultural-communicative context for case preparation and litigation strategies.
The core human need to communicate is driving technology into personal spaces. And new electronic pathways have cut a swath into the transactions of life, which more often than not intersect with the legal system. Web 2.0 is the new Internet paradigm in which the thrust of content has shifted from public consumption to private publication. Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and Linkedin are just a few of the most popular examples of this phenomena.
