I am incredibly honored to welcome Lit Software as a sponsor of iPhone J.D. in 2015. The company makes TrialPad and TranscriptPad, which are two of the very best law-related apps on the iPad. I have extensively reviewed TranscriptPad several times, most recently in November of 2014 when TranscriptPad 2 was released, and I use this app in my practice every week, and sometimes every day. Just yesterday, I used it in connection with two different cases. TranscriptPad is simply the best way to read and annotate deposition transcripts, and I have seen other attorneys buy an iPad simply so that they could use TranscriptPad. The app lets you assign issues to lines of a deposition as you read it and then lets you create useful reports of all of the key testimony in a case on each issue.
Lit Software's other app is TrialPad, a powerful app for presenting documents and other exhibits. You can use the app at trial to show documents to a jury, plus call out important parts of the document. I haven't had a chance to use TrialPad at a mediation yet, but one of my partners did last year and said that it worked great and was very helpful. You can also use TrialPad when you are in a meeting with other attorneys or a client to show off documents on an external screen, and even do so wirelessly if you have an Apple TV.
TranscriptPad and TrialPad demonstrate how the iPad can be used as a professional tool. And as powerful as these apps already are, they frequently receive updates which make them even better. I see Ian O'Flaherty, the founder and Chief Software Architect of Lit Software, every year at TECHSHOW, and he is always excited to tell me about new features that are in the works. Speaking of which, Lit Software develops, programs and supports its apps entirely in the USA. If you send an email with a support question, it will most likely be answered quickly and personally by Ian O'Flaherty himself, who is (obviously) an expert on his apps and who has been working with attorneys for years.
I really cannot say enough good things about these apps. If your law practice ever involves working with transcripts, then you owe it to yourself to get TranscriptPad. And if you ever present documents with your iPad, whether it be to a judge or jury or just to other attorneys or clients in a meeting, then TrialPad is an incredibly powerfuly app. If you don't yet own one or both of the apps, you can buy each of the apps for $89.99 — far less than you would pay for similar software for a computer, plus the fact that you can use these apps on an iPad makes them more portable and thus more valuable. Better yet, Lit Software is now taking advantage of the new App Store bundle feature. This means that you can purchase both apps as a bundle for $159.99. It also means that if you have already purchased one of the apps, you can now pay the difference to get the other app — e.g. if you already paid $89.99 for TrialPad, then it will only cost you $70 to add TranscriptPad to your iPad.
