The seminars on electronic Disclosure cover every aspect of it – except the everyday knock-about cases which every firm has. The suppliers of litigation software and litigation services promote their expertise in every kind of litigation – as long, apparently, as it is document-heavy and preferably multi-national. E-Disclosure is in fact within the reach of most firms, but you have to look quite hard to find it.
This is the introduction to an article called eDisclosure for Everyman, the first in a series of articles about electronic Disclosure on my web site at www.chrisdalelawyersupport.co.uk
The article is about a solicitor who, on returning from a high-level conference on eDisclosure, finds that half-a-dozen ring-binders and a couple of CDs of Word documents, Excel spreadsheets and e-mail files have been delivered by a client.
He realises that, informative though his conference was, he does not know where to start in turning his clients’ documents into an electronic database. The article and those linked from it cover the things he needs to know.
