How Not to Do Social Media Archiving 150 150 Jason Krause

As it begins to dawn on people that social media is discoverable for litigation, it’s tempting to think that tweets, posts, and content can simply be downloaded from the provider. For example, The New York Times recently reported that Twitter is working on a way to retrieve old, expired tweets, and Facebook already has mechanisms…

Why Would Trial Lawyers Want to Work Offline?
Why Would Trial Lawyers Want to Work Offline? 150 150 Jason Krause

It’s getting hard to remember a time when everyone didn’t have Internet access available at all times. Or when every restaurant, airplane, and office park didn’t offer WiFi access. (How did people settle bar bets before Google was perpetually available?) Technology is so widespread and so reliable that it’s easy to take it all for…

Saving the Jury Trial from Extinction
Saving the Jury Trial from Extinction 150 150 Jason Krause

It’s hard to think of anything more dramatic, more compelling, or exciting than lawyers, judges, and witnesses squaring off in a courtroom. Think of every episode of Law & Order, movies like A Few Good Men or To Kill a Mockingbird, or read the cover of this month’s ABA Journal, Theater’s 12 Greatest Courtroom Dramas.…

Forget Defensible Deletion. Think Defensible Storage. 150 150 Jason Krause

Defensible deletion is one of those topics lawyers have been hearing about a lot lately. Unfortunately, it’s also a subject that just means headaches for lawyers. Just this week, a poorly run deletion policy has had an enormous and possibly devastating affect on a major lawsuit. A Federal judge has hit Samsung with an adverse…

Small Firms Can Compete in eDiscovery
Small Firms Can Compete in eDiscovery 150 150 Jason Krause

Get Our Free White Paper to Learn How. Small firms might imagine eDiscovery is like a John Grisham movie, where a plucky young attorney practicing law in a rundown office is hopelessly outgunned by a large, well-heeled law firm.

eDiscovery Pricing: A Great Example of Lawyers Wasting Money 150 150 Jason Krause

eDiscovery pricing and technology services in litigation is not a straightforward matter. But it should be. Unfortunately, many lawyers and corporations don’t know much about eDiscovery pricing or what services a vendor provides until after litigation begins. Thanks to a recent ruling, In re Aspartame Antitrust Litig., 416 Fed. Appx. 208 (3d Cir.2011), we have…

Robots Are Not Replacing eDiscovery Lawyers
Robots Are Not Replacing eDiscovery Lawyers 150 150 Jason Krause

Somehow, editors across the country have gotten the idea that computers will replace lawyers in litigation. The Wall Street Journal asked, Why Hire a Lawyer? Computers Are Cheaper, and The New York Times promised a world of Armies of Lawyers, Replaced by Cheaper Software. Columnist Paul Krugman even picked up the theme to discuss the economy. Most recently, the New…

Value vs. Savings in Legal Cloud Computing 150 150 Jason Krause

Nextpoint is not a private jet kind of company. That didn’t stop a boutique private jet firm from trying to pitch us on the value of buying time on one, promising to cut, “hourly rates, outrageous fuel surcharges, expiring prepaid hours and annoying peak day restrictions.”                  …

Sharing eDiscovery Cost
Sharing eDiscovery Cost 150 150 Jason Krause

Cost is still the most challenging problem in eDiscovery. The volume and complexity of discoverable evidence in litigation is such that law firms are struggling to manage it in-house. As we’ve discussed before, the battle to control litigation support IT costs is being fought on two fronts – one, the overall firm technology infrastructure, and…
