It seems I had barely digested the intriguing information about one of the newer messaging apps called Signal as I discussed in my last blog and as reported by the NYTimes, when now I see a new story about updates by Slack to their app as reported by The Technologist blog from FindLaw.

A rather tumultuous year is rapidly winding down, with all its struggle and hype and surprises. The stress of getting through another year seems to always bring out the “Gee, remember when…?” syndrome, as in, “Gee, remember when the holidays weren’t so hectic?”; or, “Gee, remember when you got your coffee at home, and not […]

But a common […]
As everyone involved in E-Discovery should know by now, some pretty fundamental updates in Federal Rules of Civil Procedures (FRCP) became active in December, 2015, most notably in Rule 37 and Rule 26. Ralph Losey determined this was the “Goldilocks Era” as being “helpful” but not a “godsend”. And, in fact, there are more changes coming […]
