"It’s not easy telling an entire state full of colleagues and superiors that they need to move on from a business model that has served their industry for centuries. But that’s exactly what three Florida lawyers did when they began pushing the lawyers in their state to embrace technology and collaboration with nonlawyers.
During a Saturday morning plenary session at ABA Techshow, Florida State Bar President Ramon Abadin, University of Miami law professor and founder of Law Without Walls Michele DeStefano and John Stewart of Rossway Swan Tierney Barry Lacey & Oliver exchanged war stories while encouraging the lawyers in attendance to demand their respective state bars promote technological competence from their members."
