The 80/20 Principle

220: PDF Essential Skills for Lawyers


Listen Later

PDFs are essentially a form of “digital paper”—that is, a way to display text and graphics on a computer or mobile device. PDFs have been fully adopted by federal courts for e-filing and are increasingly being adopted by state courts as well.   Although PDFs were not created specifically for the legal profession, with the adoption of PDFs as a way of producing case documents, as well as their use in e-filing, lawyers now routinely encounter PDFs as part of their daily practice.   So it makes sense for lawyers and legal professionals to learn more about how to use PDFs. And that’s what this session is designed to help you do.   Show Notes
