60 Apps in 60 Minutes 2015

This past Saturday morning at ABA TECHSHOW in Chicago, I teamed up with Dallas attorney Tom Mighell, Ohio attorney Joe Bahgat and Florida legal tech consultant Adriana Linares to present the 2015 installment of 60 iOS Apps in 60 Minutes.  Lots of useful and fun apps were discussed during the session, and the enthusiasm from the standing-room-only crowd was fantastic.  I know that the session was fast-paced, so for those of you who attended and who may have missed an app or two, and for those of you who could not make it to ABA TECHSHOW 2015 this year, here is a list of the apps that we discussed.

For the apps that I previously reviewed here on iPhone J.D., I added a link to the app name.

And just in case those 74 apps are not enough for you, you should check out the prior editions of 60 Apps in 60 Minutes.  Some of the apps we discussed in previous years are now outdated, but quite a few of them are just as worth checking out today as they were way back when:

  • 2014 — Brett Burney, Chad Burton, Jeff Richardson, Reid Trautz
  • 2013 — there was no 60 Apps in 60 Minutes session that year
  • 2012 — Josh Barrett, Brett Burney, Jeff Richardson
  • 2011 — Josh Barrett, Jeff Richardson, Reid Trautz
  • 2010 — Jeff Richardson, Reid Trautz
  • 2009 — David Sparks, Ben Stevens, Jeff Richardson, Reid Trautz (it wasn’t yet called 60 Apps in 60 Minutes that year, but there was a similar presentation)
