Read the Oregon Law Office Management blog post: Encryption: Essential Best Practice or Much Ado About Nothing? and find, among other tidbits, a link to “C’mon, C’mon, C’mon, Let Me Show You What It’s All About: Encryption ABC’s, Easy as 1-2-3.“
Oregon Law Practice Management has a detailed blog post on “How to Fire a Client.”
Read Jim Calloway’s law practice tip at his blog post, Fee Agreements for Lawyers, which links to an Attorney at Work blog post, Fee Tale: This Is Not Your Father’s Engagement Agreement.

Check out MyShingle’s Soloformania (lots of great checklists!), Free Stuff, Topics (for previous blog posts), and other pages.
Take a look at the Charlotte Law Library’s Guide to Free Online Family Law Resources. A few resources are North Carolina-specific, but there are lots of others that will be useful to lawyers in other states.

Librarians find, compile, and share: See iLibrarian posts:

Check out the list of billing-software links compiled at the Oregon Law Practice Management blog. It is not Oregon-specific.
