Today’s post comes from our former staff member, Stina. She sent me a message me about a number of legal applications that lawyers and law students can use via their iPhone. A couple of these are VERY inexpensive, which is always nice. This is what Stina has to say:

First up, there is the application “Legal E,” which provides information on student rights, as well as other education laws. This is a resource for both students and teachers, as it includes both current and historical education laws. The application is constantly updated as changes in education law are made at the Federal level. Not a free app, but only costs $1.99.

Next is the “Copyright Coach.” This app provides the entire text of Title 17 of the United States Code, along with choice Code of Federal Regulation provisions and parts of Title 18 of the United States Code, the sections which deal with criminal copyright infringement. The app is divided into three parts, and includes a Registration Guide as one of the sections. The guide (really cool) breaks down the USC and CFR sections by topic. The code is current and the app costs 99 cents, which is crazy! Think about this app as a portable NOLO guide for copyright questions.

Finally, is “Legal Ease.” This is an application that could be helpful to anyone gearing up to take the bar. It helps in preparing for the Multistate Bar Exam and contains 800 flashcard questions written by attorneys. It includes detailed explanations to help students understand the details. The questions include the major areas of law and a practice exam, and then gives you your results via your phone. The app is pricey at $39.99, but then again, so is taking the bar – twice.

There have been lots of reviews of the Black’s Law Dictionary, so we won’t repeat those here. Check out these apps by visiting the iStore.

Thanks, Stina. Good apps to consider.
