Ernest Svenson graduated from Loyola Law School in 1985 and then spent two years clerking for respected federal trial judge in New Orleans.  Since then, he has practiced commercial litigation, first for a well-respected New Orleans law firm, and more recently as a solo practitioner.  He has started several weblogs besides this one, including PDFforLawyers and DigitalWorkflowCLE.  

This ‘Ernie the Attorney’ weblog was chosen by the ABA Journal as one of the top 100 law weblogs two years in a row.  Ernie believes that the practice of law is largely an “information processing business” and tries to help lawyers find more efficient ways to process their information. He routinely speaks to lawyers about various topics, including:

• Developing a paperless law practice
• Using PDFs to improve information handling
• Better visual presentation using Powerpoint & Keynote
• Social Media for lawyers (practical & ethical issues)
• How small firm lawyers can use technology better
• Cloud computing issues for lawyers (practical & ethical)
