Hi, Catherine! Migrating to free / open software from proprietary software like Amicus Attorney or PCLaw involved letting go of the commodified “out of the box” solution to my problems. It got easy when I started using OpenOffice spreadsheets for anything for which I couldn’t find a suitable open source alternative. You can find other opinions from lawyers using free and open source software, specific answers to questions and even mentoring on the Ubuntu Legal Access Group: http://ubuntuforums.org/group.php?groupid=209 Hope to see you there!

I have a 25+ year public interest law background, now in private practice doing the same type work. I am absolutely disgusted with the money sucked out of my office for networkings hardware, software, and “IT Speialists” who cause more problems than they solve. I found your group while searching for open source law office software. I have a pretty good background in computers but to start from scratch in learning linux etc is virtually impossible, I still have to handle the cases and clients I have. I need to transition now. I can not describe how much I hate PCLaw. Can any of you guys give me a heads up on what I can start with for simple client and case management, calendaring, etc while I am going through this learning curve? Will be eternally grateful for some mentoring. Thanks.
