The Law Practice Management Section of the American Bar Association has just published a book entitled “The Lawyers guide to Collaboration Tools and Technologies: Smart Ways to Work Together” It was written by Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell.
Chapter 14 is “Simple Project Management: Basecamp”. Maybe it’s time to change my mind about lawyers.
Thanks to Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell for including Basecamp in the book. A lot of lawyers ask us about how they can use Basecamp in their practice. Your book lends credibility to the cause.

on 18 Apr 08I just developed a website for a lawyer and he was very impressed with Basecamp.
The other person we were working with refused to even check it out, though.

on 19 Apr 08to fitzage: see, at least your lawyer client wanted a website. IME lawyers even though they (seemingly) make a lot of money, don’t want to spend them on websites. Or business cards.

on 23 Apr 08It’s definitely time to change your mind about lawyers! In fact, it’s my mission to change the way lawyers think and change the way the American public thinks about lawyers. :)
I’m a lawyer who saw firsthand how broken the traditional legal model is and committed to doing something about it. I teach lawyers how to be Personal Family Lawyers and get back to the way lawyering used to be in the old days when people consulted with their lawyer before making important financial and legal decisions.
We use Basecamp to manage our whole team at the Family Wealth Planning Institute and all of our communications with our Personal Family Lawyers.
Thanks 37 Signals!
