According to ABA Survey, Lawyers Slow to Embrace Web 2.0

             An article in September’s ABA Journal, WEB 2.0 STILL A NO-GO, summarizes the results of a survey of 850 lawyers nationwide regarding the adoption of web and mobile technologies. Some of the more interesting results were:

§         Most respondents have a Smart Phone/Blackberry. Even 50% of lawyers 60 or older are using mobile devices.

§         95% of the respondents conduct legal research online.

§         The number of lawyers using free online legal research services exceeds the number using for-fee services.

§         27% of lawyers regularly consult blogs. Only 2% maintain blogs.

§         Few lawyers are taking advantage of the more recent Web 2.0 technologies, such as RSS feeds, podcasts and online videos.
