This issues of Peer to Peer will tackle the challenges we’re all facing when trying to implement new products, services, or even billing systems and retain, albeit embrace, core competencies and proper documentation. We can’t get to the mailroom or to the notary, so how will we make this the New Golden Age of legal technology?

Publishing Guidelines

Every submission should be an original, educational piece. Do not spotlight specific products or companies; rather, write about challenges and solutions with technology or administrative procedures (we love case studies).

Consider including a short sidebar piece in your article, especially if you conduct an interview, want to include a list or have other related information that doesn’t quite fit in the article. Also consider using subheads and bullet lists.

Do not include footnotes, diagrams or images. Citations should be incorporated into the context of the article.

Keep your audience in mind. ILTA's readers are technology professionals in law firms and corporate legal departments. Consider their knowledge as you write.
