Wikis for the Legal Profession

The February 2007 issue of the American Bar Association publication Law Practice Management has an article by Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell on Wikis for the Legal Profession.

...(P)erhaps the greatest potential of the wiki tool for lawyers is its use as a collaborative tool or even an information or knowledge platform, especially as a way to gather and manage 'unstructured' information easily and quickly. The key feature of wikis in this regard is that multiple authors and editors are able to work together to create a collection of information or even collaborative documents".

"(...)We've scoured the Net for some of the best links on wikis -- we'll discuss and point you to resources about what a wiki is and how it works, how to pronounce 'wiki,' how a lawyer can use one in his or her practice, and how this tool is an extremely powerful platform for collaborating with others on the Internet".
