Articles on search by OrcaTec’s Herb Roitblat are rare, but worth waiting for. I would much rather point you to his article, and to the articles by Ralph Losey to which they refer, than try and write them myself. I … Continue reading →

Legal Technology News annually presents its LTN Innovation Awards for Outstanding Achievement by Legal Professionals in their Use of Technology. This year’s awards, to be presented on the first day of LegalTech, includes one to US Magistrate Judge Andrew Peck … Continue reading →

The logo of Xerox Litigation Services – XLS appeared here shortly before I set off on last October’s race from continent to continent. I wrote a brief welcome at the time but wanted to find out more about the company’s … Continue reading →

I am pleased to be taking part in an eDisclosure seminar called eDisclosure after Goodale and the Practice Direction in the company of Terry Harrison of Hobs Legal Docs in Manchester on 25 January. The event runs from 6:00pm to … Continue reading →

A report on the future of document review reaches me via Twitter. The spirit which ignores or condemns social media as a business tool matches the spirit which many lawyers show towards modern methods of document review. I yield to … Continue reading →

The American Bar Association’s Section of Science and Technology Law organised a lunchtime panel session in Washington last week. Its topic was the differences in approaches to eDiscovery in the US and in Europe and how those differences might affect … Continue reading →

SCL, the website of the Society for Computers & Law, has kindly published my predictions for eDisclosure / eDiscovery for 2012. Every year, Editor Laurence Eastham collects predictions across a wide range of the subjects where technology meets the law, … Continue reading →

An article of last week on my Google+ site (Norwich CPS tests tablet computers as a step towards paperless courts) sounded a cautious welcome for the plan by the Crown Prosecution Service to send out all the documents for criminal … Continue reading →

You will doubtless recall from your Latin lessons at school that the Romans drew a useful distinction between questions which expect the answer “Yes” and those to which the presumed reply is “No”, the former generally beginning with “Nonne” and … Continue reading →

An article about US eDiscovery has messages for UK eDisclosure. The Electronic Documents Questionnaire should be used to reduce unnecessary costs both of the disclosure itself and any disputes about it. I don’t know what US forensic expert Craig Ball … Continue reading →

The SCL website is again collecting predictions for the coming year. There is always a good crop relating to eDisclosure / eDiscovery – mine usually arrive just after the print edition has gone to press, and I suspect that will … Continue reading →

The London member of business and advisory firm BDO International has taken Digital Reef to support its eDiscovery work. The selection was made through Digital Reef’s UK partner e-Origin. William Wilkinson, Head of Technology Forensics Services at BDO, said “by … Continue reading →

For those who missed my original post about this or who do not follow me on Twitter, I have set up a page on Google+ for short notes, mainly about eDiscovery/eDisclosure . These lie part-way between blog posts and tweets, … Continue reading →

Google has just launched Google+ Business Pages which, unlike the ordinary Google+ pages, allow you to have an identity as a business rather than only as an individual. That distinction on its own is in fact fairly meaningless in my … Continue reading →

“My five year old can tell by page three of an Opinion that it is going to end in sanctions”. The best panel sessions leave you with a one-liner which summarises at least one of the viewpoints. The DoJ’s Allison … Continue reading →

The mediaeval heritage of Dunster in Somerset includes – or did until recently – cobbled streets and paths. These are now being ripped up because the highways officers and health and safety people from the local council are worried about … Continue reading →

As my last article explained, I am setting off on a sort of eDiscovery world tour thanks to a coincidence of invitations, each of which was too interesting to turn down. I keep a running list of things which I … Continue reading →

The three words beginning with “B” in my title are a random selection from the top of my running list of things to write about.  They all have a connection with eDisclosure / eDiscovery which is not necessarily obvious (barristers … Continue reading →

A parallel emerges between the management of Britain’s railways and the way the civil justice system is run. In both of them, the occasional star project cannot hide the fact that the rest is run-down, neglected by government and inadequate … Continue reading →

Whilst I was at ILTA in Nashville in August, I moderated an eDiscovery discussion with Steve Akers, CTO of Digital Reef and Peter Mansmann, CEO of Precise Litigation Technologies. Digital Reef has now edited our discussion down into three short … Continue reading →
