This past Saturday morning at ABA TECHSHOW in Chicago, Josh Barrett, Brett Burney and I presented the 2012 installment of 60 Apps in 60 Minutes. We highlighted some of the best new apps for attorneys as well as old favorites that cannot live without, plus a few others just for fun. Here is a list of the apps that we discussed this year. I put links on the names of the apps that have received a formal review here on iPhone J.D. I think that you will find that this is a good, diverse list of apps for you to explore.
