Shackled to Our Screens: How Technology Has Imprisoned the Legal Profession - Reviews

This presenter was, hands-down, the most interesting presenter in any educational seminar that I have ever attended in my 43 years as an attorney. This presentation was absolutely stellar.

Timely and resonant. Well done.

I didn't think this was going to be a valuable use of my time until about 15 minutes into it. After that I found it to be one of the best programs I have ever listened to in CLE. Great job by the instructor and her transparency.

One of the best presenters I have heard on the practical aspects of help available to lawyers, judges and the legal profession.

Outstanding! A real eye-opener.

i loved the last slide

The course was very informative. The only negative comment I have is that it went over time.

Excellent

The course was very enlightening on the problems with excessive reliance and use of our phones and how it can affect our well-being. I agree it is a form of addiction and should be treated in a like manner to other ones.

Lots of great info. Important to remember 1 hr/day.

Fantastic presentation with much needed information and skills to use going forward.

Powerful topic.

Loved the presentation

Delightful surprise of important life lessons delivered with passion and honesty by instructor. Bravo!!

Excellent video! The host really knows a lot. This video is a wealth of information!!

Excellent information, thank you

Very valuable material to help think about how technology has changed our lives - both for the better and for the worse. I feel the course could have been shorter, as there was a good deal of repetition in it.

A necessary alarm

Excellent presentation and informative

The attorney who talked me into going to law school warned me about technology. He told me when documents came by mail, he had time to research the issues, think of the legal ramifications of the legal options and time to draft the response, put it down for a few hours or a day, review again to see if it felt right still. He said the introduction of fax machine was destroying the quality in practice of law and the enjoyment he had in his practice. The fax comes and a call within a few hours or first thing the next morning “Did you get my fax, where are we on this matter?” I have often thought about what Bill would say today. Lots of memories and hit some issues for me. Your presentation was greatly appreciated and hit home on many levels. I will try implementing the 5 strategies for reducing my screen issues. Thank you.

An excellent presentation. Makes me very thoughtful. Confirms my practice of staying off of social media as much as possible despite friend's and family's complaints that I am without my phone too much. I do spend way too much on line.

Nice intelligent woman lawyer.

I admire the honesty and integrity of the presenter. Superb.

Really good info that everyone should share with their kids.

Enjoyed both parts and learned a lot. A lot of food for thought about screen time. And agree 100% about people ignoring the person in front of them to answer a call or text.
