Legal Hold blogs exist for basically two reasons: to share information; and to promote a product and/or service; this blog is intended to do just that, hopefully in a helpful and successful manner. I recently noticed a comment in one of the many blogs I read that actually spoke to truth in a simple way; […]
Being involved in the eDiscovery industry over a period of time now, both as a consultant and as an in-house employee, I have had many occasions to come in contact with eDiscovery software promotions and informational articles. Whether through vendor websites, blog posts, promotional literature at seminars and events, personal contact…a similar them pops up […]
As I was reviewing notes and articles regarding Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A’s), I was reminded of a conversation I had with a couple of actual experts on the topic. As casual conversations about any worthwhile eDiscovery-related subject have a tendency to do…and it seems almost I can tie eDiscovery into pretty much any business discussion…we got […]
I just read a fascinating article about a guy who is obsessed with the idea of preserving a “record” or what might be considered a time capsule in grand terms of who we are, not just for future generations but for eons beyond our time…for the civilizations that will replace us, or the aliens who […]
While reading the numerous blogs and articles emphasizing increased efforts to have attorneys be more cooperative in their “meet and confers” and ongoing conferences, I happened to recall some legal work of Louis Brandeis before he ascended to the US Supreme Court.

I enjoyed just such an ongoing friendship and conversation the other day, lunch with […]
Ricci Dipshan at Legaltech News recently posted a fine article regarding what may be described as cross-border subpoenas for discovery of electronic information, specifically emails. The two court decisions are by now pretty familiar to those in the E-Discovery and legal industries: the Microsoft discovery case in Ireland addressed by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and […]
Good news seemed to be in the offing as more states moved to require CLE-credited training for attorneys on technology competence, such as Florida did here . But a recent survey by the ABA as reported by Gibbons E-Discovery Law Alert shows that attorneys may not be taking part in technology training as soon or as diligently […]
A truism that we can probably rely on, even in our current state of affairs, is that ‘training is good’. In any industry or environment, those who are well-trained can for the most part be relied upon to do the right thing, in their work product and professional life. And the trainers, of all people, […]
The peace and quiet of holiday vacation seemed to provide the perfect setting for a bit of rumination on ethics in the world of eDiscovery; I was all set to babble away, when a very interesting news item diverted my attention. As anyone who has read the few blog entries I have posted so far will […]
