Can discovery notices have different labels or titles? One of the most enjoyable aspects of my many years in the Information Management and E-Discovery business is the great friendships and camaraderie formed with others, especially those forged over time and experience. 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.

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.

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. Slack is putting the pressure on other […]
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 […]
Based on the articles, blog posts and general buzz in the IT, security, and Information Governance world, it would appear the big interest topic to close out the year may center on Artificial Intelligence, or AI. Holiday shopping lists are likely to be cluttered with the latest in-home gadgets, from ‘smart’ refrigerators, TVs, climate control, lighting and […]
While the political arena in particular has provided plenty of entertainment and demands on our attention over the past weeks and months, life has gone on in other areas. E-Discovery activities continue, and firms, clients and corporations continue to adjust to the updated Federal Rules. Rule 26(a) seems to have evolved into star status, perhaps […]
I wonder how many companies or firms are still pondering their first BYOD policy.
