#23: Return of the "Paperless" Jedi: Interview with Author David Sparks

Learn how to go paperless or improve your paperless workflows with David Spark’s “Paperless Field Guide.”

I am excited to have back (Episode 3.1, 3.2) your pal and mine, David Sparks. David is a California based attorney and host of the ever popular Mac Power Users. In addition to several other podcasts that David hosts, David has also published several field guide manuals on computers, software and workflows at learn.macsparky.com. Although these field guides are driven for the Mac user, many of the software tips and workflow concepts can be utilized by a windows user.

I invited David back because he recently released a field guide on going paperless. Having talked with David before and having reviewed his field guide, I think all attorneys could take a lesson on either going paperless or improving their paperless workflows. Join David and I as we discuss the following three questions: 1. What are three ways to alleviate attorneys fears about going paperless, 2. What tools do attorneys need (v. what they may already have) in order to go paperless; and 3. What are the Best Practices for going paperless.
