There are lots of iPad apps that are useful for attorneys but also useful for many others: Mail, Microsoft Word, Dropbox, GoodReader, etc. But if I was asked to name the most useful apps designed specifically for lawyers, the apps that Lit Software makes would be at the very top of my list: TrialPad, TranscriptPad and DocReviewPad. These are incredibly sophisticated and useful apps that are in many ways more powerful than PC software costing hundreds of dollars more. And they work incredibly well on the iPad. For my litigation practice, which involves lots of depositions, TranscriptPad is an incredibly useful tool that I use at least once a week, and sometimes every day. TrialPad is an incredibly useful tool for lawyers who want to control the display of evidence in a trial (or folks who want to do the same thing in a mediation, meeting, etc.). And DocReviewPad has powerful tools for reviewing documents.
I mention these three apps today because they are on sale. However, you don't have much time because the sale ends at the end of today, Wednesday, August 31. Lit Software doesn't have sales very often — the last one was in December of 2015. Each of the apps is $20 off, which means that TrialPad (normally $129.99) is selling today for $109.99, TranscriptPad (normally $89.99) is selling today for $69.99, and DocReviewPad (normally $89.99) is selling today for $69.99.
If you want more information on each of these apps, here are my reviews and other posts on these apps:
- TrialPad: 1/13/11, 1/6/15, 5/19/16
- TranscriptPad: 1/18/12, 7/25/13, 7/16/14, 11/18/14, 1/6/15, 6/11/15
- DocReviewPad: 7/7/15, 9/1/15, 10/27/15
Lit Software is a past sponsor of iPhone J.D., and it turns out that they are also a sponsor next month. But they are not a sponsor this month, nor did the company ask me to mention the apps today. I just noticed that a sale was going on, and since I know that these apps are discounted so rarely, I wanted to make sure that iPhone J.D. readers knew about the opportunity to save some money.
If one or more of these apps is not currently on your iPad and you have been thinking getting the app when the time was right, today would be a good day to make the purchase.
