Green Lawyers

No, not greenhorns, but green as in eco-friendly. Know of any? Matt Homann was wondering if any exist, probably prompted by Dennis “green legal technology” Kennedy.

One program I bought earlier this year, on Tom Mighell’s recommendation was GreenPrint. A slick program that, when you print a document, gives you a pop-up window with thumbnails showing the pages you’re about to print. It then allows you to easily delete blank (or nearly blank) pages from your print job. I bet that little program will save me a toner cartridge and 4 reams of paper a year.

Apparently they have a “green” font you can use that lets you print 15-20% more words on a sheet of paper. With the number of trees lawyers kill a year in draft memos, letters, patent applications, etc…perhaps that isn’t a bad idea.

    I think Michael Dryja tries to bill himself out this way. http://www.dryjapat.com/environment.htm

    I personally think all this green-hysteria is just a silly primitive religion. Amazing that we are falling for this bunk.
