Am Law 100 Firm Launches Own iPhone App

The Am Law 100 law firm Arnold & Porter has launched its own iPhone application. The free app enables users to read the firm's Consumer Advertising Law Blog on their iPhones.

An e-mail I received from the firm said, "As far as we know, Arnold & Porter is one of the only Am Law 100 firms to offer a mobile or iPhone application." I would take that one step further. From what I could find, it is the first and only Am Law 100 firm with its own iPhone app.

In fact, I could find only two other law firms of any size with their own apps. One is the New York immigration firm Spar & Bernstein, which introduced an app in December that provides a feed of the firm's news, Twitter posts, podcasts and videos. The other is the Arizona law firm Harper Law, which has an app named Harper Law that provides a feed of articles with titles such as "Looking for a Phoenix Lawyer?" and "How Much is My Case Worth?"

(No doubt, I'll soon hear from all the other firms with iPhone apps that I overlooked Bring 'em on! Let us know about others in the comments below.)

The Arnold & Porter app is similar to an RSS reader except that it delivers only the one blog's posts. The app allows the user to sort the posts by categories and mark posts as favorites. Posts can easily be shared by e-mail or on Facebook and Twitter. The touch of a button opens the actual blog page in the iPhone's browser.

Given that other RSS readers are available for the iPhone that will read any number of blogs, one would have to be a true fan of this blog to want this app. That said, it is a clever idea, well-designed and well-executed.

lawyerschile: How the Legal Community Is Helping in Haiti

How the Legal Community Is Helping in Haiti

In the wake of the horrific earthquake that struck Haiti, I wondered whether anyone in the legal community was organizing any relief or fundraising efforts of their own. Last night, I put out a call on Twitter for leads on Haiti relief efforts being organized by law firms or legal groups. I've also searched blogs and the Web. So far, I have not found much, but I am sure there is far more going on and I encourage readers to post any leads they have in the comments below.

One notable measure is the decision by Paul Hastings to donate a generous $100,000 to earthquake relief. As reported by Above the Law, the firm circulated a memo yesterday saying it had made the donation to the earthquake response efforts of Doctors Without Borders. "We chose this organization because its global scope and effectiveness will deliver to the victims in Haiti the immediate assistance they need by providing health care where the local medical infrastructure has been devastated," the memo said. The firm encouraged its staff to make donations of their own.

Through Twitter, I was pointed to... [MORE]

It's Judge v. Judge in Case of Bankrupt Law Grad

In an unusual example of judicial defiance, an on-his-way-out bankruptcy judge is siding with an out-of-work and deep-in-debt law grad and issuing a rebuke to the federal district judge who overruled him.

"An irascible Massachusetts bankruptcy judge known for 'whacking lenders' has turned his acid pen upon the chief of the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts who overruled his decision to release a penniless bar-failer from her law school debts," reports Julia Reischel has the story at The Docket, the blog of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly newspaper.

The case involves Denise M. Bronsdon, now 65, who graduated in 2005 in the top half of her class at... [MORE]
