As long as I’m thinking Conventions, I should mention Legal Tech West Coast 2006 on June 5 - 6 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. Were it in San Francisco, or perhaps in the middle of winter here in Chicago, I might consider it this year.

Of interest, the site claims “Bringing You the Best of Legal Technology for 25 Years.”
I hadn’t realized that Legal Tech Los Angeles was that old. 1981. That was before the Web, even before the IBM PC. Not before Comdex, however. Lawyers were using MTST automatic typewriters and a word process systems with ink spray printers that splattered everything when you started them up on a cold winter’s Monday morning. CP/M was the techie Operating System of choice, and I was pounding my faithful Apple ][ and using AppleWriter word processing software and VisiCalc.
Yes! A long time ago.
