I am still not convinced that most lawyers are luddites

I had a discussion with a colleague the other day about how lawyers are not the most likely group to adopt new technology. For the most part, I think lawyers just need to see how it can help their practice, facilitate a dispute, or aid a client's cause. For example, The Am Law Daily has observed how lawyers from Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr are working for the Sudan People's Liberation to avert war through an arbitration to draw the Abyei borders. What's interesting from a "legal technology" perspective is the degree to which the lawyers have turned a usually secretive affair (aka international arbitration) into the public domain using a webcast.
