🎙️ TSL.P Ep. #135: Ethical AI, Paperless Practice, and Smart Hardware Choices with ABA LTRC Chair Alan Klevan ⚖️🤖

/ The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page/

My next guest is Alan Klevan, a veteran personal injury lawyer and Chair of the ABA Law Practice Division’s Legal Technology Resource Center (LTRC), known for running one of the first paperless practices in New England and for his clear-eyed approach to AI in law. In this live episode recorded at the ABA Spring Conference in San Diego, Alan and I dig into how solos and small firms can use AI, case management platforms, hardware, and workflows to practice more efficiently while honoring their ethical duties and protecting client confidentiality.

Join Alan Klevan and me as we discuss the following three questions and more!

  • What are the top three ways Alan uses AI and other tech tools to control discovery and document management at scale, protect client confidentiality, and communicate complex case progress to clients who only care that it is accurate and on time?

  • As Chair of the ABA Law Practice Division’s Legal Technology Resource Center, what top three technology practices does Alan wish every small or solo lawyer would adopt in the next 12 months?

  • What were the three most important technology decisions Alan made early in his career around paperless workflows, practice management, automation, and AI‑powered research—and how can today’s practitioners follow that lead?

In our conversation, we covered the following:

  • [00:00:00] Live from the ABA Spring Conference in San Diego, introducing Alan Klevan and the setting of the conversation 🌴

  • [00:00:30] Alan’s mirrored bi‑state setup: two Lenovo i7 laptops in Massachusetts and Florida, dual 24" HP HD monitors, two ScanSnap iX1600 scanners, laser printers, and Microsoft OneDrive syncing between offices 💻📠

  • [00:01:10] Traveling with a third “road warrior” Lenovo laptop, iPhone as primary smart device, and using the reMarkable 2 tablet for handwritten notes that sync into client and ABA files ✍️

  • [00:01:45] Early impressions of the Plaud (AI wearable) device, background-noise muting, and why Alan limits it to non‑critical meetings due to privilege concerns 🎧

  • [00:02:20] Judicial skepticism about AI recording tools in court; motion practice, privilege issues, and a New York judge flatly banning AI recorders in the courtroom 🚫

  • [00:03:10] AI hallucinations in legal practice, roughly 1,300 known hallucination incidents, and why the real problem is lawyers not checking citations—highlighted by a recent Oregon sanctions case 💸

  • [00:04:00] The Oregon lawyer who tried to “fix” hallucinated citations with a motion to refile instead of candor to the court and opposing counsel, and how that became a fraud‑on‑the‑court issue under the Oregon Rules of Professional Responsibility

  • [00:04:45] Using Google Scholar as an AI‑prompting “hack” to verify every citation and case suggested by AI tools 🔍

  • [00:05:20] Question 1 restated: top three ways Alan uses AI and tech to (1) control discovery, (2) protect confidentiality and ethical duties, and (3) communicate complex case progress to clients

  • [00:05:45] Drafting AI and social media policies directly into contingency‑fee agreements so clients do not post about their case or use open‑source AI on case‑related issues 📜

  • [00:06:30] Hepner and Warner: open‑source vs enterprise AI, attorney–client privilege, work product concerns, and emerging discoverability questions for public‑facing AI platforms

  • [00:07:20] Trap for the unwary: why Alan insists clients notify him before using AI on their case and why he prefers enterprise versions of AI for better protection and governance 🧠

  • [00:08:10] The Nippon Life Insurance case: client uploads attorney communications into ChatGPT, asks if her lawyer is gaslighting her, then files 44 AI‑drafted motions—raising product liability and disclaimer questions for AI vendors 🏛️

  • [00:09:30] Court pushback on AI disclaimer language, defective product theories, and the infancy of AI‑related legal liability

  • [00:10:10] Alan’s big personal‑injury “Aaron Brockovich‑type” case with a deep‑pocket defendant and using AI to level the playing field on litigation management and motion practice ⚖️

  • [00:11:00] Feeding facts, parties, defense counsel names, and pleadings into a case management system with a built‑in, highly accurate legal AI component (VL) and generating 50‑state case research for negligent infliction of emotional distress claims 📂

  • [00:12:00] Running the same matter through two AI platforms (case management AI and Claude) to compare outputs, reduce hallucination risk, and mold responses to Alan’s writing style and Massachusetts practice

  • [00:13:00] Using Claude (enterprise tier) to draft an opposition to a motion to dismiss seven emotional‑distress claims, followed by manual review and cross‑checking in the case management AI—leading to the defendant’s motion being denied ✅

  • [00:14:15] Alan’s process for verifying AI outputs: second set of “AI eyes,” Google Scholar citation checks, and lawyer‑level review of every filing

  • [00:15:00] Advice for new attorneys: try AI platforms before buying, choose a tool that fits your workflow, avoid shiny‑object syndrome, and do not over‑commit to annual plans while the market is moving fast 🧩

  • [00:16:00] Michael’s caution about yearly plans, vendor lock‑in, and ensuring your data is nimble enough to move between AI platforms without costly migrations

  • [00:16:45] Alan’s rule: do not chase every AI; become a master of one platform, learn it deeply, and resist the temptation to constantly switch 🧠

  • [00:17:10] Both hosts stress “review, review, review”—AI as a law librarian or 3L intern, not as your practicing lawyer, and the concept that AI does not have a JD 🎓

  • [00:18:00] Anecdote from 1990: Alan is sent to court unprepared, gets sent out of the courtroom to learn his file, and how that story frames his modern view of AI oversight and responsibility

  • [00:19:10] Question 2: as LTRC Chair, Alan’s top three technology practices every small or solo lawyer should adopt in the next 12 months

  • [00:19:30] Tech Practice #1: invest in a fast machine (Windows or Mac) with as much RAM and storage as you can reasonably afford, and strip the “crapware” off box‑store Windows machines 🖥️

  • [00:20:10] Discussion of Apple vs Windows pricing, the need for more than 16 GB of RAM, multi‑core processors, and why Alan buys Lenovo laptops with 32 GB RAM and expects 3–4 year laptop lifespans 💾

  • [00:21:30] Backups and storage: redundant cloud backups, redundant hard drives, using external 5 TB drives from Staples, and keeping active machines “clean” for better AI performance

  • [00:22:30] Tech Practice #2: immerse yourself in what is happening with AI and law practice, become a master of one AI platform, and continuously read ethics and disciplinary decisions about AI use 📚

  • [00:23:15] Tech Practice #3: your head is your most important piece of technology—using judgment, stepping back to assess risks, and making sure anything submitted to court or client is accurate

  • [00:24:00] Economic access, hardware costs, and why Alan still believes lower‑resource attorneys can get workable hardware by being strategic about purchases, specs, and lifecycles

  • [00:25:10] Michael’s storage philosophy: lots of local SSD, multiple backups, and revisiting older briefs and arguments (e.g., mailbox‑rule analysis) to build new work more efficiently

  • [00:26:10] Disk space versus backup strategy, internal vs external drives, cloud vs local files, and disaster recovery considerations

  • [00:27:20] Question 3: top three early technology decisions Alan made around paperless practice, automation, and AI‑powered research

  • [00:27:40] Answer #1: going fully paperless in 2005—the first paperless practice in New England—and eliminating almost all postage costs by sending encrypted electronic communications and demand packages ✉️

  • [00:28:15] Answer #2: becoming a power‑user of Adobe Acrobat and PDF workflows so he can respond to massive production requests (e.g., 10,000 pages) in seconds instead of hours 📑

  • [00:29:00] Answer #3: adopting case management platforms with AI‑driven workflows that automatically assemble record requests, HIPAA authorizations, and certifications for medical providers

  • [00:29:45] Dusty hardware: why Alan’s printer and ScanSnap are seeing less use, yet scanners remain necessary for partners who still prefer paper and non‑electronic delivery 🖨️

  • [00:30:20] Michael’s own shrinking paper consumption, stamps.com, and transitioning to PDF‑based workflows with secure electronic delivery

  • [00:31:00] Adobe Acrobat as “gold standard” for lawyers, why every attorney must understand PDFs deeply, and Alan’s “learn it, love it, live it” mantra 📄

  • [00:31:40] Bonus segment: what the ABA Legal Technology Resource Center (LTRC) is, its role as a “delivery board,” and how it serves both the Law Practice Division and the broader ABA membership 🏛️

  • [00:32:20] LTRC’s four pillars of law practice management—marketing, technology, practice, and finance—and how it delivers content via Law Technology Today, webinars, podcasts, and roundtables

  • [00:33:10] 2024–25 LTRC theme: AI‑centric content from intake through trial, and why Alan believes LTRC may become the ABA’s most important board for practitioners navigating AI

  • [00:34:00] Using AI for law‑firm marketing, content creation, case‑law recaps, and SEO—along with warnings about legal advice, PII, and AI‑generated “SEO articles” that sound inauthentic

  • [00:35:00] Call to action: join the ABA Law Practice Division and LTRC, become one of roughly 30 tech‑focused thought leaders, and help shape AI guidance for the profession 🙌

  • [00:36:00] Where to find Alan: why he is minimizing social presence during a major move and high‑stakes case, and the best way to reach him on LinkedIn

TSL.P Podcast Special! Podcasting for Lawyers: The Truth Behind the Mic – ABA TECHSHOW 2026 (Special Audio‑Only Episode) 🎙️⚖️

/ The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page/

This special episode features the audio‑only release of an ABA TECHSHOW 2026 panel I was excited to be part of: “Podcasting for Lawyers: The Truth Behind the Mic,” with moderator Ruby Powers and fellow panelists Gyi Tsakalakis and Stephanie Everett. 🎧 Instead of our usual one‑on‑one format, you will hear a live, conference‑style conversation about how lawyers can use podcasting, video, and modern legal technology to build authority, strengthen client and referral relationships, and stay aligned with legal‑ethics and professionalism rules.

Join Ruby, Gyi, Stephanie, and me as we discuss the following three questions and more!

  1. How can lawyers design and sustain a podcast that supports their practice goals and speaks to a clearly defined audience?

  2. What practical tech stacks—microphones, recording platforms, hosting services, and workflow tools—are realistic for busy attorneys and legal professionals?

  3. How do podcasting, video, and short‑form content contribute to SEO, GEO, and long‑term business development for law firms?

In our conversation, we cover the following

  • 00:00 – Welcome to ABA TECHSHOW 2026 and introduction of the panel: Ruby Powers (moderator), Gyi Tsakalakis, Stephanie Everett, and Michael D.J. Eisenberg. 🎙️

  • 02:00 – Each panelist explains their podcast, ideal listener, and why they chose podcasting as a medium.

  • 06:00 – Publishing cadence: weekly, bi‑weekly, and how consistency drives listener trust and download growth.

  • 10:00 – Adding video and YouTube to audio‑only shows and how video clips improve discovery on social media.

  • 14:00 – DIY production vs. using producers, internal teams, or podcast networks, including time and cost trade‑offs.

  • 18:00 – Core tech stacks in practice: microphones, Zoom, Riverside, StreamYard, Descript, Libsyn, Calendly, Buffer, and other essentials. 💻

  • 24:00 – Guest selection, outreach, and sound checks; when to decline an appearance or reschedule due to poor audio or bad fit.

  • 30:00 – Using podcast hosting analytics and social‑platform insights to understand who is listening and what resonates.

  • 35:00 – Podcasting as networking and “virtual coffee”: building relationships with lawyers, experts, and vendors. ☕

  • 40:00 – SEO and GEO benefits: how episodes create long‑tail visibility in search, and why attribution still matters.

  • 45:00 – Ethics and professionalism: confidentiality, bar‑advertising rules, disclaimers, and avoiding client‑identifying facts. ⚖️

  • 52:00 – Final advice for lawyers on the fence about starting a podcast and how to improve with each episode instead of waiting for perfection.

⭐ First Five-Star Amazon Review for “The Lawyer’s Guide to Podcasting” – Why Tech-Savvy Lawyers Should Care About ABA Ethics, Client Trust, and Smart Marketing 🎙️⚖️

/ The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page/

“The Lawyer’s Guide to Podcasting” by your favorite blogger/podcaster just earned its first five-star Amazon review, and it’s a milestone worth your attention. 🎉📘 The reviewer highlights what many of us in legal tech have been saying: podcasting is no longer a fringe hobby; it is a strategic, ethics-aware marketing channel for modern law practice. 🎙️

For lawyers with limited to moderate tech skills, this book demystifies microphones, workflows, and publishing tools without assuming you want to become an engineer. Instead, it walks you through practical steps to share your expertise in a format today’s clients already trust—long-form, authentic audio. 🔊

From a professional responsibility perspective, the guidance aligns with ABA Model Rule 1.1 on technology competence and Model Rule 1.6 on confidentiality by emphasizing the use of secure platforms, thoughtful content planning, and careful handling of client-identifying details. The book reinforces that podcasting can showcase your substantive knowledge while staying within the guardrails of Model Rule 7.1, avoiding misleading claims about your services. ⚖️

The first five-star review underlines two themes: listeners want real conversations, and they quickly recognize when a lawyer respects both the audience’s time and the profession’s ethical duties. That is exactly the posture this book encourages—credible, compliant, and client-centered. 🌟

If you are ready to build authority, differentiate your practice, and satisfy your tech-competence obligations without drowning in jargon, now is the perfect time to get your copy of “The Lawyer’s Guide to Podcasting” on Amazon and start planning your first ethically sound episode. 🚀

MTC: Why Lawyers Should Podcast in 2026: Human Connection, Authority Building, and Tech-Smart Growth for Your Law Practice 🎙️⚖️

/ The Tech-Savvy Lawyer.Page/

For nearly six years, podcasting has been more than a business development tool to me; it has been a way to talk about topics that matter, in a format that feels natural, conversational, and—even for lawyers—fun. 🎧 Podcasting lets the public, and potential clients, get to know you as a person instead of just a name on a website or a face on a billboard, and that human connection is rapidly becoming the real differentiator in a crowded legal marketplace.

podcasting can be a key to a lawyer’s marketing strategy and maybe allow lawyers to have a little fun too!

At PODFEST EXPO 2026 in Orlando, I sat down with a remarkable panel of lawyers, former lawyers, and legal professionals for a “pop‑up” roundtable on why lawyers should podcast. My guests included Dennis “DM” Meador of The Legal Podcast Network, Louis Goodman of Love Thy Lawyer, previous podcast guest Robert Ingalls of LawPods, personal‑branding expert Wendi Weiner of The Writing Guru, and Elizabeth Gearhart of Passage to Profit. Together, we explored not just why lawyers should podcast, but how podcasting can support branding, authenticity, and even your visibility in search engines and large language models (LLMs).

Several themes emerged. First, podcasting is now a trusted medium for younger generations; DM noted that for Gen Z and Gen Alpha, podcasts and short-form video are top information sources, and if you “don’t want to dance on TikTok, get a podcast.” Second, a show can function as an “electronic résumé,” as Louis described, demonstrating your consistency, curiosity, and staying power far better than a static bio ever will. Third, a podcast is a powerful filter: by sharing your real voice—salty language and all, if that is true to you—your audience quickly learns whether you are “their” lawyer or not, which matters in multi‑year relationships such as injury or family law matters.

Podcasting is also a networking and authority engine. Elizabeth emphasized how Passage to Profit has grown from a radio show into a nationally syndicated podcast that not only builds trust with human listeners but also increases her firm’s presence in tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. By repurposing podcast transcripts and show notes intelligently, she has observed measurable traffic from LLMs to the Gerhardt Law website—proof that conversational content can improve your visibility in the emerging “language-based internet.” Wendi highlighted that podcasting dovetails perfectly with personal branding: it is a scalable way to tell your story, show your “superpower,” and convey your unique value beyond the four corners of a résumé.

Lawyers can gain invaluable insights from podcasting conferences like Podfest, enhancing their firms’ marketing, online visibility, and overall digital presence.

Of course, podcasting is not only about business. For many of us, it began as a hobby or a creative outlet that happened to support SEO, referrals, and professional relationships along the way. The lawyers on the panel repeatedly stressed that you do not have to talk exclusively about black‑letter law: you can focus on entrepreneurship, technology, careers, politics, or any niche that authentically reflects who you are and the clients you want to serve.

That balance between enjoyment and strategy is exactly why The Lawyer’s Tech Guide: The Lawyer’s Guide to Podcasting exists. 📘 This new book, just released today, breaks down the who, what, why, where, and how of podcasting for lawyers—from equipment and workflow to ethics, marketing, and monetization—so you can launch a show that is both sustainable and aligned with your practice and values. You can grab your copy on Amazon and start turning your expertise and personality into a discoverable, binge‑worthy asset for your clients, colleagues, and community.

📢 Stay tuned! The roundtable episode from Podfest 2026 drops tomorrow. You will hear directly from DM, Louis, Robert, Wendi, and Elizabeth as they share the candid, practical advice that every tech‑curious lawyer thinking about podcasting needs to hear. 🎙️
