dLaw - All The Law On Your Android Device

dLaw - Android Apps on Google Play. Tablets and phones are devices that are best suited to content eating. While the iPad lovers tout apps for Exhibit preparation, and use at trial, I use an ultrabook at counsel table for those functions. I am primarily interested in tablets as a way to get the primary law and do research on the go, with all the other stuff they do, with email, web browsing and newspaper and magazine reading. They are also a good way to keep up with the social web; but, smart phones do that job better. In other words, I want to eat legal content wherever I am, in a large page sized format. dLaw, formerly Droid law, is a free app that opens a window to the law. It has a handy direct link to Google Scholar, which is an ever more competent research aid, and an instant path to every case everywhere. For a few dollars, you can get all the statutes and civil procedure rules for your State (not all, but you can check for yours). It comes free with the U.S. Constitution and the basic documents underpinning our democracy. If you are a Federal practitioner, you can get the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for any Title you choose for a couple of bucks each. The new version adds a Workspace feature that permits the creation of projects for research and other stuff. All in all, it does the job and doesn't cost very much. What more can you ask? You never have to go back into your law office library again (unless, of course, you are doing a deposition, a will signing or a closing in there). Those antique books still look good lining the walls, don't they?
