Resources for Law Students

Here’s a list of resources that are helpful for learning law of computers, technology and internet.

Law and Technology News

Media outlets with good and dedicated coverage of technology law include:

• Ars Technica
• TechCrunch
• Techdirt
• The Verge
• Wired
• Slashdot
• BuzzFeed – Tech
• CyberScoop
• Engadget
• Slate- Technology
• Slate – Future Tense

Productivity Software.

• Word Processing: You have to use Microsoft Word, even if you are a Mac person (like me). Word has all the features, and most people use it.
• Mindmapping/Outlining: I use XMind Zen.
• Dictation software: Dragon dictate is the best dictation software (at the moment), but only runs on Windows.  If you are a Mac-person (like me), you have to run a virtual machine, Windows operating system. I use Parallels and run Windows.  Many times, I run Word, XMind, and Dragon using Parallels.
• Design: Adobe’s products are amazing. There many be better alternatives out there, but as a whole you can not beat Adobe’s products.  I use Adobe’s Premier, Elements, inDesign, Photoshop, Captivate, Acrobat, Sign, amongst others.

Podcasts

• Good Code is a podcast that constantly covers relevant topics..
