Three new sponsors and HP buys Autonomy – all in a week’s work
This was never going to be a relaxing week, sandwiched as it was between a conference in Singapore and ILTA 2011 in Nashville, Tennessee. At least I had written all my Singapore articles by the time I landed at Heathrow … Continue reading
You collect the loot and a forensic expert will collect the evidence
One would hope that every lawyer engaged in litigation is aware that specialist experts exist who can collect data from computers in a manner which will stand scrutiny in a court. Actually, I have no such hope, since I come … Continue reading

Huron Consulting goes with Nuix
I rarely pass on press releases without some accompanying context, focusing on a few big articles rather than many snippets, but this one headed Huron Consulting replaces Autonomy with Nuix caught my eye as it was published. Nuix provides software … Continue reading

A court-led eDiscovery initiative in Singapore
I thought I had done with Singapore for a bit, at least until October when I am back there for the InnoXcell eDiscovery conference on 31 October. A news item on the Asia Legal Business Online website seems worth passing … Continue reading

Conferences coming up: ILTA and the Legal Technology Leadership Summit
With Singapore behind me (well almost, I am still here as I write this, in the BA lounge, waiting to fly) I can turn to the next two events in the eDiscovery calendar. Next up is ILTA 2011 at Gaylord … Continue reading

It was a privilege to be asked to be one of the rapporteurs at the end of the International Electronic Litigation Conference in Singapore. Bryan Ghows of UniLegal LLC spoke to one group and I the other, with ten minutes … Continue reading
Senior Master Whitaker raises the eDiscovery stakes for unprepared litigants
You are busy, I know, and here is another 3,000 words to read. I will repeat here at the top the paragraph with which this article ends, as a taster for what Master Whitaker said in his plenary session speech … Continue reading

Lord Justice Jackson in Singapore: Piloting Civil Justice Reforms
The best judicial advocates of proportionate electronic discovery emphasise that, however significant the costs and other implications of discovery, they are but a part of a wider duty to make justice affordable. That duty is distributed – it lies with … Continue reading

Jumping Jurisdictions: EDiscovery from California to Singapore
I am sorry about all those words from my brief stopover in the UK between California and Singapore – 11,100 of them, 1000 per day and one word for every mile flown to get there and back. What is alarming … Continue reading
Final round-up of the Carmel Valley eDiscovery Retreat
My reporting of the excellent Carmel Valley eDiscovery Retreat has been rather dominated by my post Judge Peck and Predictive Coding at the Carmel eDiscovery Retreat. Frankly, if that had been the only session it would have justified my 11,000 … Continue reading

A Flock of Articles on Computer-Assisted Document Review
What tells the swallows to gather on the telegraph wires before starting their migration southwards? One has to ignore, I think, the possibility that the telegraph wires are part of their communications network. Perhaps the birds all use an avian version of … Continue reading
The Value of eDiscovery Self-Collection Tools
I mentioned in a recent post that membership of Guidance Software’s Strategic Advisory Board brought the pleasure of seeing developments work through from concept to production to adoption. One of the most exciting of these was Guidance’s EnCase Portable. The … Continue reading

Drawing conclusions from Guidance Software’s Q2 2011 financial results
