The "cloud" is in many ways the future of computing.
Without getting technical, suffice to say this:
Information that was previously locked in your various digital devices can now be securely stored online and accessed from anywhere at any time.
The cloud can put a law practice in your pocket.

Law Technology Today recently discussed "Paperless Trials, Legal Collaboration and the Benefits of the Cloud ", and concluded that online technology can achieve "dramatic productivity and cost efficiencies for legal professionals and their clients".
We agree.
With YourLaw, whether you are a lawyer or a client, you save time, money, effort and stress, as you proceed toward achieving a legal goal/solving a law-related problem in the "cloud".
It's all about utilising leading 21st century technologies to improve communication and collaboration, and reduce costs, between people with legal needs and the professionals who can help them.
Litigation services market specialist Clare Foley explains how the cloud can help teams of lawyers to streamline their collaborative efforts, for example:
"It might mean establishing logical threads among a variety of documents and passages and document types, and then drafting and revising annotations and commentary that clarify the importance of those relationships."
YourLaw's goal is to make legal services more accessible to non-lawyers - who can also benefit from cloud-based collaboration.
"Cloud infrastructure is designed to handle dramatic changes in computing requirements easily and automatically, without adding to onsite infrastructure."
"Authorised users [lawyer colleagues, or lawyers and their clients] can complete tasks from one cloud workspace."
"Every user has 'round-the-clock' access to the same tools and materials via a Web-based interface on whatever device they happen to be using."
Exchange ideas in one safe place ... no longer rely on email ... or endless rounds of phone tag... "Send email notifications alerting designated users to the addition of new annotations or commentary."
Banks, businesses, bloggers, all are moving their operations to the cloud - for all the reasons above, and the security benefits it brings.
The cloud isn't just a fad. It's a substantial development in the way information is stored and accessed. Much more than just "silver lining", the cloud is the future of computing, and with YourLaw the future of legal service delivery too.
