Web-based Dispute Resolution Systems Gain Traction as Court Delays and Low Value Disputes Surge
| 15 May 2012
Courtroom showdowns make for great movie scenes, but To Kill a Mockingbird’s Atticus Finch would be shocked to hear that the courts are only resolving a fraction of today’s legal disputes. A growing number of cases are being resolved by online tools, and sometimes lawyers and judges are not even involved. Impartial web-based systems apply computation, algorithms and cryptographic technology to bring about resolution quickly and inexpensively.
A growing stable of private sector companies are beginning to compete with the judicial system for “customers” and are also changing the face of traditional Alternate Dispute Resolution or ADR, which has typically included mediation, arbitration and other alternatives to the courts.

Alternative Fee Arrangements Give Productivity Software Sales a Boost as Law Firms Brace for Efficiency
| 14 November 2011
Recently, I went to a Microsoft Word users’ group meeting where a legal software application was being demonstrated. The software being shown was going to allow attorneys and legal staff to accomplish a time-consuming legal task in a fraction of the time it would have taken manually. The attendees, mostly legal software trainers, were amazed and very enthusiastic about the software.
Out of curiosity, I asked the trainers, “When you train lawyers and legal staff, do some of them resist learning productivity software tools because they actually don’t want the task to take them less time, because it reduces their billed hours?”

(Hope All is Well with You…)
Whether you love to hate emails, or you hate to love emails, the fact remains – if you’re a legal IT professional, you’re an emailing machine whether you like it or not.

Silver in the Windy City – ABA TECHSHOW Turns 25 This Week!
| 07 April 2011
This week marks the 25th Birthday/Silver Anniversary of the ABA TECHSHOW in Chicago which runs from April 11- April 13 at the Chicago Hilton. TECHSHOW is sponsored by the American Bar Association’s Law Practice Management (LPM) section. Having gone to the show for about the past 10 years, I have to say this particular event is always one of the highlights of my year.
The educational sessions at TECHSHOW are always good, the Taste of TECHSHOW dinners have introduced me to interesting people and the best Chicago hotspots, and the Expo Hall overflows with buzz and cool new products. And on St. Patrick’s Day, they do actually dye the river green!

Unexpected eDiscovery: Boldly Exploring the Outermost Frontiers of ESI
| 21 December 2010
Space…it was the final frontier for one James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise. But where is the final frontier for eDiscovery? Well, there isn’t one. Not yet anyhow. For the pioneers on the cutting edge of eDiscovery, new and surprising sources of ESI are continually being discovered, tapped, and secured.
Any eDiscovery expert or computer forensics professional can find electronically stored information (ESI) in ordinary places such as document repositories and e-mail systems. However, the most creative, intrepid and thorough electronic investigators go farther-- much farther -- to find crucial information in the most unexpected and unusual of places. They find obscure cards, chips, disks, proprietary systems and remote outposts where relevant data lives, preserve it, and bring it into the fold. In short, they boldly go where no one has gone before.
