  Posted on June 16, 2011 by Greg Regan in Features, Law Firm Management, Technical Issues.

  I’m not really a big fan of cloud computing (or SaaS: Software as a Service) for legal firms given the recent security breaches against Sony and Nintendo.

  Posted on November 2, 2009 by Greg Regan in PCLaw, PCLaw Help, Technical Issues.

    Probably the most common problem call I get from clients is “Hey, I can’t save my emails to Pc Law. My Outlook isn’t connected to Pc Law anymore.” Normally (not always) the solution is simple. In MS Outlook, go to the Help menu. There should be a “Disabled Items” menu item. If there is […]
