The imbalance of power in the courtroom is often very real whether that's a David vs. Goliath battle pitting a small-firm plaintiff against a corporate giant, or a situation where a judgment-proof or anonymous defendant evades accountability. The scales of justice are sometimes uneven. Guests Marcus Chatterton and Fred Tecce are veteran litigators who have found themselves in countless courtroom skirmishes opposing all manner of large and small businesses in a variety of corporate, patent, trademark, criminal, and personal injury issues. They explain how tech can help balance an imbalance of resources. Deep pockets may have been an advantage, whether that's in the form of available manpower or the ultimate ability to pay a claim. But that doesn't have to be the case. Modern, novel legal approaches and today's tech tools can help level the playing field as software programs can analyze mountains of evidence that used to require hours of poring through boxes of paper that could overwhelm small firms. “Technology assisted review” is a growing field. Will AI further help attorneys battle an information dump in discovery or chase down anonymous actors and follow online breadcrumbs? The key is pairing legal skills and experience with tech, not only learning to use the newest tools but also learning to explain the findings and methodology to a judge and jury. Technology is changing everything from the way you prepare for trial to the way you present your case. Whether you're a “Goliath” with a duty to assemble and turn over mountains of discovery, or a “David” faced with digging through that evidence and uncovering precedents that back your client, tech tools are blazing a new trail.

My guest today has been preaching  about the potential power of tech in the legal sphere since the earliest days of social media. Nicole Black began her legal career as a Public Defender, conducting countless hearings, jury trials, bench trials, and depositions, in matters both civil and criminal.But in 2008 she began covering the intersection of technology and law as a journalist for publications like The American Bar Association, Above the Law, and The Daily Record.In 2012  she joined MyCase, a legal software case management system, where she serves as a Subject Matter Expert and Educator, and in that time has become a self-proclaimed Legal Technology Evangelist.I was able to hear Nicole speak earlier this year, and by the time she'd finished her talk she'd convinced even me to give a ChatGPT subscription a shot. But our conversation this week deals with far more than the productivity promises of A.I.. Nicole and I discuss whether our own biases  to these new technologies can exacerbate current legal disparities, how generative A.I. could help you build better human relationships, and why you should praise our future robot overlords... just in case. Enjoy the show.

Our guest, Dr. Nicole Black, shares the "Dissociative Experiences Cards" she has created for use with clients.

“When you realize tomorrow is not promised, you want to experience things that are just not tangible, like having peace and love and connection. You can have that when you go outdoors. I feel like we have grown so much because of the spiritual connection that women can have when we go out on trails.” -Black Girls Hike RVA  The outdoors are for everyone. Shara and Nicole, two friends and educators, noticed a lack of diversity on the trails and wanted to provide opportunities for everyone to experience the outdoors. Black Girls Hike RVA is a local hiking group for women of color. Shara and Nicole’s group is rapidly growing in popularity, winning awards, and breaking boundaries, while simultaneously building community and encouraging others to find joy in nature. Let’s Go!

FULL INTERVIEW - EXTENDED PODCAST Our Special Guests today are - - - Nicole Black - Entrepreneur | Restaurateur Marco Black - Television Line Producer Joseph Morgenstern - Wall Street Journal Pulitzer Prize winner, American Film Critic, Journalist & Film Reviews on NPR - KCRW In 1968, America was in the middle of a nervous breakdown. The year began in Vietnam with the Tet Offensive and the six-month siege of Khe Sahn. In April, Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis. In June, Robert Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles. In August, rioting broke out in the streets of Chicago during the Democratic National Convention. The year managed to end, though, on a somewhat hopeful note when Apollo 8 broadcast incredible pictures of a peaceful earth rising above the moon's surface. And no one did a better job of embodying this America in extremis than actress Tuesday Weld in Pretty Poison. Pretty Poison is a film about the youth in the 1960s. It shows how they loved and how their passionate expression fueled them into promiscuity, pills, and a general disregard for life itself. As the country mourned the deaths of two significant political figures: Martin Luther King, Jr., and John F. Kennedy, Jr, The deaths gave the studio executives some pause; releasing this movie would be risqué and may be seen as offensive to some. Thankfully some incredible movie critics saw the film buried in Hell's Kitchen and knew that the film must have some merit. Joe Morgenstern, Pauline Kael, Judith Crist, and Arthur Knight for taking a chance and giving the film rave reviews. Time magazine even wrote, “The nicest, nastiest crime film to come out of Hollywood in years!” Pretty Poison was featured on the marquee in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Seeing this, Nicole Black, daughter of No-el Black saw this as a clear sign to get the film included in The National Film Registry. Pretty Poison deserves a chance to be preserved so it can be enjoyed for many years. Pretty Poison deserves a chance to be preserved so it can be enjoyed for many years. Pretty Poison should be included in The National Film Registry. Please go to prettypoisonthemovie.com to cast your vote for Pretty Poison to be included in The National Film Registry.

MyCase legal technology evangelist Nicole Black joins us to talk about how attorneys can implement game-changing technologies thoughtfully and efficiently.

Tis the season to gain a lot of weight. Try to avoid it, but don't feel too bad if it happens. Remember, it's about health, not about other peoples' expectations. Another thing to avoid is telemarketing scams. Robokiller can help with that. As can cutting yourself off from civilization entirely.

Think of online behavior as an extension of offline behavior. If activities run afoul of ethics rules offline, don’t do it online. Twenty-seven states have adopted some duty of technology competence requiring lawyers to understand and use technology to provide adequate representation to their clients. It can cause significant stress for solos and small firm attorneys, in particular. On top of representing their clients and maintaining competence in their practice areas, while trying to figure out how to run their businesses which law school doesn’t teach, they have to be up on technology. It can be overwhelming. But it’s important to be on top of changes in technology. If you’re a litigator and don’t understand social media and how it can be used to mine for evidence and research jurors, you may be committing malpractice. Question: How can attorneys make sure they’re complying with ethical obligations regarding social media and technology? Answer: The rule of thumb is to think of your online behavior as an extension of your offline behavior. Consider if you’d be able to do someone offline and apply that to your online activities. So, if you can’t post something in print with language that requires a “this is attorney advertising” disclaimer because it’s blatant advertising and not just educational, don’t do it online. Attorneys are responsible for complying. In other words, don’t outsource your ethics. Sure, legal marketers need to have an understanding of the rules but the ethical obligation lies with the lawyer. It’s the lawyer’s job to inform their legal marketing team of the ethics rules and review copy to make sure it’s compliant. Remember: The online is an extension of the offline and the medium doesn’t change the message. Mining social media data Lawyers are now using social media to represent clients and not just for marketing purposes. They are mining social media for evidence and to research jurors. Anything that is publicly viewable is fair game when mining social media for evidence. What about information behind the privacy wall on social media? Nicole provides some insight into the ethical considerations for disclosure when friending or connecting with someone online for the purpose of mining private data, including differences among jurisdictions. Bonus takeaway Pick one of the main social media platforms you’re not already using that might be relevant to you for marketing purposes or for litigation purposes and create an account and learn the ins and outs of the platform.

The 21st legal consumer is different and their client service expectations are very different. If you don't know how to reach them, they are going to move on to the lawyer who does. Today, Nicole and I discuss reaching the 21st century client through technology. Learn how to be the lawyer the 21st century legal consumer will come to again, and again.Written by Susan Cartier Liebel

Joe Patrice and Elie Mystal talk with John Balestriere, Nicole Black, Rochelle Washington, and Gaston Kroub. Together, they discuss the art of outsourcing for receptionists, secretaries, payroll, and yes... even office space.

In this episode of The Legal Toolkit, Jared Correia interviews lawyer and legal technology expert Nicole Black about how and why lawyers adopt mobile and wearable technology, how they are using tablets, smartphones, and smart watches in their practice, the role of cloud computing, and what to watch for in the legal ethics of wearables. Black discusses how the spread of cloud computing has made mobile computing possible by reducing battery and storage constraints. From there, she says, smart watches are the lawyers' solution to impolite interruptions and the inconvenience of situations in which phones are not allowed. Also, most people are comfortable wearing a watch already (we used to wear them before smartphones). Black believes smart watches will be the gateway to Google Glass, or something similar, as we all become more comfortable with the constant presence of technology. Tune in to learn about some amazing ways lawyers have already used wearable technology and some ethical factors to consider.
