I am a 66 year old attorney, and last week, when an issue came up, during a break, I used my iPhone to dialup the Georgia Bar web site, which has free statute and case law online, searched out a citation, pulled up the statute and a defining case, and when court resumed...I asked permission to approach the bench and showed the Judge (and other lawyer) on a real web browser on my iPhone the pertinent statute with annotations, history and legislative notes. The Judge accepted the law as presented and I won a dismissal, much to the joy of my client (we were waiting to pick a jury and begin an expensive trial) and to the chagrin of opposing council and his dumbfounded client.
It wasn't the first time my iPhone has paid for itself during a single day's use. It's just a better tool.
Wow, are we suddenly living
Wow, are we suddenly living in the 1700's? Since when is a person 60 years old considered 'elderly'. Much less someone 50 or in their 40's. I'm 39, I guess my days are numbered lol.
