1987, November, Pg. 1999. Upcoming Computer Education Seminars: Advanced Help
The recent Colorado Bar Association Convention offered two well-attended computer application seminars: the Probate Section's computerized probate program and the General/Small Firm Practice Section's telecommunications seminar. The impression from the attendees was that many Colorado lawyers had reached a transition stage in their practice and that more powerful usage of their computers was of interest, particularly actual hands-on involvement.
This column provides preliminary information on an upcoming seminar entitled "Technology in the Law Practice: The Lawyer's Personal Workstation."

Infomart is the permanent computer showcase created by real estate developer Trammel Crow, the first of which was built in Dallas. The Dallas building was dedicated in 1983, and has hosted two previous "INDEX:LEGAL" computer conferences, as a joint offering of the Economics of Law Practice Section of the American Bar Association ("ABA"), the State Bar of Texas and Infomart.

This third annual ABA Infomart meeting will be held January 20 through 23, 1988.
The ABA Economics Section, the World Trade Center and the Massachusetts Bar Association will offer a second opportunity to attend the conference. The dates for the Boston session are March 16 through 19, 1988.
Both meetings actually will commence at 7 P.M. on the Wednesday evening before the scheduled conference for a two-hour review and basic computer session. At that time, information will be provided on how to use the resources of Infomart or the World Trade Center. The formal program will start on Thursday morning with an overview/introduction and then a two-hour plenary session on the lawyer's personal workstation.
The resource center and the exhibit area will be open from noon until 2 P.M. on both Thursday...
