Oct. 5, 2011 – Wouldn’t it be nice to know which courthouses have Wi-Fi availability? Just think how productive you could be while waiting for your matter to be called. Kathy Kelm, office administrator for the Krekeler Strother Law Firm, Madison, had the same thought. Problem was she couldn’t find a list indicating which courthouses had Wi-Fi and what her firm’s lawyers needed to do to access the service.
Kelm phoned every county clerk and used the information to create the accompanying chart (current through June 7, 2011), which she is sharing through Practice411™, the State Bar’s Law Office Management Assistance Program, a resource she often uses.
“I wanted to do something helpful for State Bar members,” Kelm says, “because Nerino Petro, the Practice411 advisor, has been such a great resource for our firm – providing technology and practice management tips and advice.”
