Take Your iPad to Court

I have to admit, unlike Tom, there are not too many devices that give me “gadget envy.” One that does is the iPad2®. I’m sure there’s an iPad in my future – if for no other reason than to allow me to read magazines and books while listening to music or to watch my own choice of movies on long international flights. Other than the obvious email, web-surfing and entertainment uses, I’ve been trying to find professional uses, so I surveyed attorneys and Certified Legal Nurse Consultants to ask how they use their iPads. I also spoke with a friend who has a company that creates demonstrative evidence for law firms to see how he’s using his iPad.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Are You Labeling Your Legal Nurse Consulting Tools?

Just about every Certified Legal Nurse Consultant owns a cell phone and some lucky CLNC® consultants even own iPhones® or Droid® phones. More and more of you are purchasing laptop computers for your legal nurse consulting businesses and I’ve even run into a few Certified Legal Nurse Consultants traveling with an iPad®. What’s the common thread here? At one time or another, one of these fellow CLNC® travelers will put down their precious device and walk away from it. It’s not a matter of “if,” it’s a matter of “when.” It may be at an airport security checkpoint, on an airplane, at a legal conference or even in a restroom.

Other than buying a leash, tether or lanyard for your phone or laptop, what can you do? Easy, get yourself a Brother Home and Office Labeler. At just under $20, this will allow you to print labels of varying sizes. Simply put your name and phone number (Not your mobile number if it’s on your mobile phone – Duh!), maybe your office address (never your home) plus the phrase “Reward for Safe Return” on a label.
