CUseeMe Teams With LLM Softwares LawyersCareer

(PRWEB) March 6, 2001 - CUseeMe® Networks (NASDAQ: CUSM), a leading provider of voice and visual communications technology for the Internet, has selected Birmingham-based LLM Software, Inc. to whom it will provide its specialized Web services for the legal industry. LLM Software, an application service provider for legal professionals, will add the CUseeMe technology to its LawyersCareer application in order to enable its user law firms to improve their recruiting practices. The two parties teamed together in the past month to conduct the first web-based interviews in the country between law schools and law firms.

CUseeMe Web technology makes possible the transmission of interactive voice and visual communications over the Internet. LLM Software will use CUseeMe technology to allow law firms to conduct real-time interviews of law students over the Internet utilizing state-of-the-art web conference applications.
Together CUseeMe and LawyersCareer will broaden the recruitment programs of law schools nationwide, while at the same time cutting the expenses and expanding the geographic reach of law firms looking for new associates," said Mason Miller, Chief Strategic Officer of LLM Software, Inc.
Imagine how much more efficient a firm can be if it doesnt have to physically send interviewers to each school or to each candidate. With our LawyersCareer technology and CUseeMe, they will be able to conduct actual interviews -- even interviews with multiple attorneys -- in front of a PC. Thats going to save a lot of firms substantial time and money in this competitive marketplace."
Elizabeth Peck, Director of Career Services at the Washington & Lee School of Law in Lexington, Virginia, who participated in the first interviews of this type in the country, was impressed with the LawyersCareer Platform. The LawyersCareer Platform for video interviewing is a great tool for a high quality, but geographically remote school like ours. This technology augments our existing on-campus program to allow employers nationwide to get to know our students."

Likewise, the participating law firms expressed a similar level of enthusiasm for the LawyersCareer Platform. Nora Miller, head of Recruiting at Gunster, Yoakley & Stewart, P.A., in West Palm Beach, Florida, a firm with over 140 attorneys and seven offices, noted that, word is spreading fast at Gunster Yoakley about what a great system LLM Software has created. Interviewing students through the Internet will allow us to reach students during the fall recruiting season that we may not normally be able to contact due to location or time constraints. We are very excited about the possibility of using LawyersCareer again this fall."
Even the students who participated in the first interviews showed their support for the application. Tiffany Dino, an accomplished first-year law student at Washington & Lee, said there was almost no difference between an interview with LawyersCareer and an 'in-person on-campus interview." Dino added that, without the use of LawyersCareer, some of the firms that interviewed at Washington & Lee might have otherwise never had a chance to recruit at our school."
The LawyersCareer concept developed by LLM Software is an excellent use of CUseeMe technology. LLM Software has leveraged their use of the Internet in the innovative, groundbreaking way we like to see," said Scott LaCroix, Professional Services Manager at CUseeMe. The LawyersCareer Platform represents what we believe to be the leading, most sophisticated and functional product available to legal professionals today."
We talked to a lot of different vendors," said Miller, but what CUseeMe is doing is obviously the cream of the crop. When other law schools recognize the potential impact of LawyersCareer for their students, we know were going to see tremendous results."
