The iPad for Lawyers - Links for State Bar of Montana Bankruptcy Section Lawyers

I had a great time presenting last Friday at the State Bar of Montana's Bankruptcy Section's Annual CLE in Helena.  I was asked to speak on integrating iPads into a law practice, and I covered a lot of material over two hours. So much material, in fact, that I didn't get to mention everything.  So as promised, below are links to everything I mentioned and didn't mention.  If you attended the session on Friday and still have questions, please feel free to ask them as a comment to this post.  Thanks again for having me!
