Watch the Legal Tech Mastery Show on Friday, August 17, at 12:50 p.m. EST to see Harris County Law Library Deputy Director Joe Lawson talk about legal tech education and the Law Library's Legal Tech Institute! The show will be simulcast on YouTube and Facebook, and the recording will be available on the show website.

The Legal Tech Mastery Show is hosted by Litigation Support Guru Amy Bowser-Rollins and features content on a variety of legal tech topics. Now in Season 3, the show has covered lots of territory and you can find a great collection of practical training videos for free online. For example, some of our law librarians learned the-notoriously-difficult-to-use Word mail merge by watching Episode 11 of Season 2. Check it out today!

What’s behind the name? “Ex Libris Juris” is Latin for “from the books of law” and much of the information here will relate to the legal information collected and curated by the Law Library. Additionally, “Ex Libris” has long appeared on bookplates – labels appearing inside the front cover of books – and has acquired the connoted meaning “from the library of” to show ownership of the book. Using this connotation, the phrase becomes “from the library of law” and better describes the posts about digital resources, event announcements, and research tips that will regularly appear here.
