Clio Cloud 2015: Leveraging APIs for Better Practice Management

An application programming interface (API) is a system that connects software applications to each other, providing more functionality for users. For example, a password manager might interface a LinkedIn App, allowing for easy sign-in. So what does this technology mean for lawyers?

At the 2015 Clio Cloud conference, Adriana Linares interviews panelists Dan Lear, Debbie Mignola, and Sam Redlich about their session, titled ‘Clio as a Platform: Leveraging Clio’s API.’ Together, they discuss employing the API in your daily practice, using automation to improve client experience, and how long it will take lawyers to learn to use and implement the tools.

Dan Lear is the director of Industry Relations at Avvo, the online legal marketplace, and a legal technology facilitator and blogger.

Debbie Mignola is the founder and CEO of Intake 123, an online form designer application that integrates with Clio software.

Sam Redlich is a practicing attorney in New Jersey who works with software companies, technology companies, and internet companies doing IP and contractual work.
