Potter Anderson & Corroon Launches First-of-its-Kind Software With Free Mobile Access to Delaware Statutes

WILMINGTON, Del. – Running to the law library and dragging out a heavy, dusty tome to check a Delaware corporate law statute will be just a distant memory with the launch of a new mobile, wireless service from the Delaware law firm Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP.  

eDelaware™ is free mobile software that will provide instant access to the full text of key Delaware statutes, along with case law summaries, through a BlackBerry® smartphone device.  It is the first mobile software developed by a law firm that allows for seamless, wireless access to important statutes and case law summaries, all of which will be updated so as to provide the most current content possible. 

“They say necessity is the mother of invention, and that truly was the case with eDelaware™,” said Scott E. Waxman, a partner at Potter Anderson and the mind behind eDelaware™.  “Because Delaware is a jurisdiction of choice for the incorporation and formation of business entities, we thought many attorneys would find it useful to be able to pull out their BlackBerry® smartphone, to check a statute when they are on the road or in a meeting.  Or, when sitting on a train commuting into Manhattan or Boston in the morning, why not click on the eDelaware™ icon on your Blackberry® smartphone to read summaries of the latest cases decided by Delaware’s renowned courts.  This is a sophisticated and essential tool for anyone who must stay connected and up-to-date on the most recent legal developments in Delaware business law while on the go.” 

Once the software is installed, the statutes and case summaries are stored on the subscriber’s device, allowing access when no wireless connection is available.  Changes to the statutes and new case law summaries are received by the user’s device as soon as they are published and there is no user intervention required.  For more information on eDelaware™, go to www.potteranderson.com/edelaware.html.

The full-text statutes included in eDelaware™ are:

• Delaware General Corporation Law
• Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act
• Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act
• Delaware Limited Liability Company Act
• Delaware Statutory Trust Act
• Uniform Commercial Code, Article 8
