60 Apps in 60 Minutes 2012

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.
