As we all know far too well, the coronavirus crisis has completely changed the justice system. Court hearings and trials are now done virtually, as are meetings of all kinds. The pandemic forced a once tech-averse profession to suddenly adopt and learn to how to use new technologies to function properly. But just how well have lawyers adapted to the new normal?
We polled more than 100 attorneys with our largest cohorts of respondents hailing from Biglaw firms (31.18%), midsize firms (23.66%), and small firms (23.66%) to find out how things haved worked out for them in their new technology-enhanced worlds.

Judge F. William Cullins, chief judge for the Fourteenth Judicial District in Kansas, describes himself as “salty.” In a recent 37-page disciplinary opinion, the Supreme Court of Kansas determined that it went a bit further than that.
Like, a
lot further than that.
And yet, the final punishment a one-year suspension is reducible to a mere 60 days if the judge drafts an acceptable proposal for a workplace training program. It’s an accommodation that seems fair when you’re on page 1 of the per curiam opinion… much less so by the time you reach page 10. And downright bonkers by the time you’re at page 36.

(Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images) The complaints against Mr. Giuliani allege serious misconduct. They do so in great detail, and appear to be substantiated by extensive evidence – consisting in large part of Mr. Giuliani’s own statements. They describe a pattern of misconduct that Mr. Giuliani engaged in both inside and outside the courtroom with the purpose of subverting a Presidential election, culminating in his speech on a podium at the Ellipse in Washington DC on January 6, 2021 when he urged a crowd of angry Trump supporters to engage in ‘trial by combat.’ These allegations require a serious investigation, a hearing, and, if the allegations are substantiated, the imposition of appropriate discipline.
