Missoula Attorney uses only Open Source Free Software for Law Office

Link: The Independent Online - News. Do you need to spend a lot of money on software to run an effective law office? Missoula, Montana attorney Monte Jewell has proven the answer is no. Using ony open source free software, he is running Montana Legal Services, and is working on other free software alternatives to providing open databases to his clients, and is building Open Missoula , a website to bring free software and tech support to low-income legal advocates who are looking for similar alternatives. Not surprisingly, he is offering the information free, under a Creative Commons not-for-profit copyright. Kudos, Monte. Who needs Microsoft anyway?

This is Monte.

I'm a proud, former Montana Legal Services Association attorney who continues to work cooperatively and actively with Montana Legal Services Association. I managed the domestic violence unit for MLSA in the greater Butte area. I am in private practice now.

I was mentored and employed by Klaus Sitte who actually runs Montana Legal Services Association. Klaus is a respected friend, and he is also a friend of open source solutions.
