Free Legal Research Tool For iOS

Fastcase, whom I had not heard of before, has a free legal research app available if you use an iOS device.  The download is free, and you can do whatever research you'd like it.  It would be handy for doing research on the fly, if, like me, you do not have access to Westlaw/LexisNexis.

On Whipping Out the Mobile Phone When Someone Else Is Talking To You

I was talking with someone the other day about how people tend to whip out their mobile phones in the middle of meetings and start texting/checking email/doing something other than paying attention to the meeting.  I think this is pretty rude, but it seems to be a way of life for some people.
This article in the Times discusses it.
