We ran out of Toms to talk to. So this week will feature special guest Jamie Butler, Director of IT at UC Davis School of Law, who we consider one of the “new” generation of IT people in law school. Should be a great show. From his biography:

Jamie Butler joined UC Davis in 2006 after serving as the Manager of Information Technology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. He earned a BS in Information Science from the University of Pittsburgh and MBA at UC Davis Graduate School of Management. Jamie is a strong believer in utilizing technology to solve real business and educational problems, striving to effectively use technology to make life easier.

Law School Tech Talk is a bi-weekly podcast about all things technology in law school. David Dickens, IT guy at Pepperdine Law is the host of Law School Tech Talk. And we’re covering law school technology from all angles with our co-hosts and regular contributors: Jonathan Ezor — our resident law prof, Debbie Ginsberg — law librarian technologist, and Ben Chapman — another veteran IT guy.
