Longtime favorite, but recently warned-against-use in your practice, Journler has finally bit the dust. So, for the time being, MacJournal stands as your best bet to perform case analysis/Casemap replacement on the Mac.  A previous post details the how-to for MacJournal and notes that you can import your Journler entries into MacJournal.

Many people reported problems getting Journler to work in Snow Leopard/10.6 and the developer just officially terminated all future development for Journler, ruling out future compatibility updates.

MILO is the Google Groups forum “Macs In Law Offices.” Recently, there have been three reallyMILO Logo great posts by users on that forum.

  1. You can tether an iPhone to your Mac for internet access over the 3G network without hacking or jailbreaking. MILO user Christian Frank pointed everyone to www.benm.at. But, there are better instructions at mydigitallife.
  2. MILO user Grace Suarez revealed a superb Firefox plug in called CiteGenie. If you’ve ever struggled with getting a properly quoted and cited copy/paste from Westlaw or Lexis into your document, this plugin eliminates hassle, allowing you to focus on the legal and analytical aspect of your work. CiteGenie truly represents the goal of getting computers to do the grunt work so you can focus on higher reasoning skills.
  3. You cannot tether an iPhone with the new 3.1 software update, as hinted at by MILO user Rob Ruffner and confirmed by comments in the mydigitallife how-to.

MILO is a great place to learn and ask questions, a superb resource for any Mac using lawyer.
