If you’re reading this column, it’s a safe bet that you have a smartphone within reach. Depending on whose numbers you believe, upwards of 77 percent of Americans own a smartphone. And for Americans in the Millennial Generation, that number tops 90 percent. Our smartphones have become indispensable tools in many facets of life.

But lately, I’ve been hearing and reading about some of the legal writing resources at my fingertips, so to speak. So I thought I would share some of those resources with you.

So, how do you backup the cloud?

Cheslie Kryst failed to win the Miss North Carolina crown on her first attempt in 2014. It wasn’t bad for a first try, though. She cracked the top 10 and won a swimsuit award.
