Almost 20 years ago, I envisioned the day that the niche-focused insight of lawyers then being shared in blogs would instantly assist lawyers working on transactions, documents, pleadings and the like.
I imagined a lawyer working on something and the relevant published insight of legal counsel surfacing to assist via a technology interface, without you doing research or heading to a form book. Maybe you ask for advice from this counsel by reaching out via email or phone. Maybe a co-counsel relationship evolves.
Higher quality legal service by getting connected to the best minds in an niche and done with great efficiency.
That was back when LexBlog was in the Merrill Place Building in Pioneer Square in Seattle. The building called the birthplace of desktop publishing with Aldus, of PageMaker fame, the anchor tenant, and Adobe inheriting its space.
I looked out the window one night back then and thought, with technology, this has to happen. All this passion and expertise of legal professionals reduced to digital form. When it’s all connected in a “working format” we bring true access to the law to the public and to the legal profession.

I thought we’d be there on the publishing side with some other technology we’d connect to. Technology developed by companies much larger than us. Had no idea who they’d be, when it would happen, or how. I just figured some day it had to happen.
Well, the day is here and the insight is coming from legal publishing in formats other than just blogs and in other than text.
