JOHN DAVIS
[9:40 p.m.] Good evening. My name is John Davis and I am the President of LegalSpan. I am pleased to accept this award on behalf of the developers of @ttend software and the staff at LegalSpan. 1999 was a banner year for us and receiving this award solidifies our belief that CLE online is a viable and emerging technology solution.

[9:40 p.m.] With the release of @ttend version 2.0, our clients can now take advantage of viewing CLE courses online at their convenience as well as receive Realtime deposition video, audio and text over the internet. Our recent agreements with several Statewide Bar Associations and the National Court Reporting Association to provide Online Continuing Education to their members is a indication that the community is beginning to embrace and utilize this technology.

[9:41 p.m.] I want to thank everyone in The TechnoLawyer Community, our Global Network of Channel Affiliates and all of our customers who took the time to vote and selected us to receive this honor. 2000 promises to be a truly exciting year for legal technology and LegalSpan is thrilled to be a part of it. Thank you.
