"60 Tips in 60 Minutes" also dished out tips to help attendees use Microsoft Word more efficiently, protect their passwords with a password manager, automate workflows, create PDFs on the go, set up online meetings and schedule things more easily. Find a link to all 60 tips in our story.

First place in the Tech for Justice Hackathon+ Veterans event went to Carry On, a project to help victims of military sexual trauma. The service features a chatbot, a system of alerts, forums and real-time chat to connect victims with services and provide them with resources on how to file a report, get help or learn about their symptoms.

End of #ABATECHSHOW feels like day after Christmas when you’re a kid. Bummed, but lots of new stuff to try.

ABA President Linda Klein called on the tech-savvy professionals in attendance to step into the potential void. “We need your leadership and technology skills to help defend the Constitution and the rule of law it embodies. That’s our obligation as citizens and lawyers.”

Thanks #ABATECHSHOW for speaking opportunity but even more for being the awesomest relationship conference #community #likesummercamp

#LawStudents, @JunQishere took the MPRE this morning and still came by #ABATECHSHOW afterwards. That's the dedication law firms want to see.

Spark is an email aggregator, but I’ve been burned by trying out email apps with no longevity. Gmail app for me. #ABATECHSHOW

.@sglassmeyer: would like to see more lawyers involved in the tech creation process. #abatechshow

#ABATECHSHOW Plenary: Challenge your team to use your organization's existing #technology to work effectively & more efficiently.

Judy Perry-Martinez: Need more collaboration. Talks about the success of civil & criminal collab. #abatechshow

#ABATECHSHOW Plenary: Decide on Monday to do something different. Create a culture of #innovation in your firm or organization.

Culture of Innovation for all, not just attorneys. Your secretary may have the solution that will raise revenue & control costs #ABATECHSHOW

“The burning question on everyone’s mind is ‘When is this robot lawyer going to replace me?’” said IBM ‎Global Chief Information Security Officer Shamla Naidoo. “The way we think about it at IBM is that this is an ecosystem of man and machine working together to augment human intelligence. The purpose is to extend human capabilities, not replace humans.”

70% of @LSCtweets clients are women.  http://www.defendlegalaid.org  #ABATECHSHOW

“The American Bar Association is urging everyone to take a minute to participate in our grassroots campaign at DefendLegalAid.org, which makes it easy for all who care about equality in the legal system to ask their members of Congress to provide funding for LSC,” ABA President Linda Klein said.

.@Mark_Britton worked for years in the travel industry. No one asked for travel advice, but they always asked for legal advice. #abatechshow

.@LegalZoom's CEO is only panelist #legaltech exec. on stage that is not a lawyer. Wonder what impact that had on their growth? #abatechshow
