A Quick Trip to Tampa to See Some Great Legal Professionals
Published in EDiscovery by James Crane | Comment (0)Yesterday, I had the pleasure of presenting Altep’s Quarterly e-Discovery Case Law Update to the Tampa Bay Paralegals Association at the Tampa Club. (TBPA = http://www.tbpa.org/ and Tampa Club = http://www.thetampaclub.com/tampa_club.htm). It was a great venue and an outstanding group of people. I have to offer a special thanks to Yvonne DeAntoneo and Leslie Matthews!! I look forward to presenting a review of online review platforms at their fall technology conference.
Breaking Down the Cost of e-Discovery
Published in EDiscovery by James Crane | Comment (0)I could go many different directions with a headline about the costs of e-discovery. I could discuss cost-saving techniques, like I did here (http://www.altep.com/content/view/3/52/). I could explain how you often “get what you pay for” … you know there’s a reason why that vendor charges 50% less than all of the competitors…
However, the focus today is just to break down the basic categories of cost associated with executing the e-discovery part of a case.
Finding the New Ways to Use Technological Innovations to Improve Litigation Efforts
Published in EDiscovery by James Crane | Comment (0)Many attorneys are in the very early stages of accepting technological tools to deal with massive discovery challenges. Even in cases involving more than a hundred thousand documents, counsel still asks that digital documents be blown-back to paper for review, and then produced as paper to the opposing party. My question is, WHY? I can only assume that it's due to lack of training and knowlege regarding use of the available technologies, and people's sense of comfort with the “traditional” ways in which things have always been done.

Do you know this man? I have asked that question in a presentation and I’ve had “John McCain” shouted out more than once.
The Top 5 Challenges of Accounting for Digital Data Versus Paper
Published in EDiscovery by James Crane | Comment (0)As promised yesterday, here are the top 5 challenges the Civil Rules Advisory Committee faced when revising the Federal Rules to account for Electronically Stored Information (ESI).
Demystifying e-Discovery
Published in EDiscovery by James Crane | Comment (0)More than a year has passed since the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were amended to account for Electronically Stored Information (ESI) on December 1, 2006, and an enormous amount of explaining, decrying, discussion and analysis has surrounded them since that day. I have been on the receiving end of countless emails promoting e-discovery CLEs, seminars, workshops, webinars and conferences. It seems like every month, someone hosts the Annual e-Discovery Conference That You Just Can’t Afford To Miss. I admit, I’ve missed a few. However, I think I’m going to be alright. You will be too. In the e-Discovery frenzy, we just have to remember that we’re still talking about discovery. We all know discovery. Now we just have to focus on getting the information.
