Visionary Projects

We've always been a group of people with big ideas. We all have a bit of the "help change the world" spirit about us.  With our unique experience in the legal field, these projects have quite naturally centered on aiding that profession in a number of ways.

Legal Trends Network

Legal Trends Network is designed as a user-driven information exchange and networking site for lawyers, judges, academicians, law students and other professionals to publish and share information relative to therapeutic, restorative and social justice and to explore issues relating to satisfaction within the practice of law.  A monumental undertaking, Legal Trends Network includes components on virtual technology for the legal community, alternative modalities of conflict and dispute resolution and criminal justice reform.

Legal Trends Network is intended to offer an additional layer of personal branding and exposure for professionals practicing law in more holistic ways, incorporating therapeutic remedies within the structure of the court system, and utilizing innovative practices within law office management and coaching. 

Legal Trends Network pre-launched in June of 2008 and is currently undergoing a complete facelift in preparation for a large marketing campaign in 2010.

Software for Court Systems

A project now approaching 2 years in development is our software as a service for Judges.  Hopefully available for testing to a limited number of judges later this year, the focus of this project is to help the courts take advantage of Web 2.0 technologies, mobile and virtual environments while promoting time and energy efficiency.  This project is being created through our sister company, Legal Trends LLC, which was created specifically for development of projects directed to the legal community.

More than successful, the committee turned away approximately 200 attendees from the first come, first served FREE community show, who enjoyed the show on live steam provided by Mountain Xpress.  The Twitter feeds were quite rewarding:
