does anyone use an iPad for the day to day to stay organized overall and with each case? I am getting sick of sticky notes and scattered papers when I get calls and having to memorialize it in word after. I feel like One Note can be an option, but I don’t love the layout etc.

I do mostly appellate and briefing work so I create a new folder for every case I work on and folders within each for various issues. All caselaw goes in there and write notes on the pdfs as I would on paper. Save all drafts as pdfs and make corrections/edits with the Apple Pencil as I would have on a printed version

Every time you take a call, open up a new message in your inbox and send it to yourself. Put the date, case, and who you talked to in the subject line.

I have an iPad also but it was an extra step and extra device that didn’t work for me.

This is a great suggestion. I would also add to make sure you have folders and possibly sub folders for each case in your email so you can easily move and organize messages.
