open source ediscovery

Last summer I posted this – collaboration coming from open source . Looks like there is now a forum setup to spearhead the open source (code engine) for ediscovery. The FreeEed.org invites folks to join in the movement. I guess even law firms (not sure about lawyers themselves) are welcome, as noted that DLA Piper [...]

More Collaboration coming from Open Source

Couple of interesting remarks/statements from this article, Open Source Could Change the Future of E-Discovery; Even for customers who can afford commercial e-discovery, “There is no tool that fits what lawyers want. The only one you like is the one you’ve never seen and don’t use, because they are just all bad.” ..one of the [...]

e-lessons learned blog

I came across a blog from twitters which I find rather interesting. Nowadays, there’re so many blogs on ediscovery and most of them seem to repeat or rehash what have been blogged or reported elsewhere. The e-lessons learned blog is refreshing and worth keeping an eye on.The current posts examined the Zubulake cases from different [...]

Talk on competition and collaboration

I was recently embroiled in a brief debate/discussion/exchange (don’t like the word ‘argument’) on ‘competition and collaboration’ with a couple of lawyers (who are also arbitrators). Although brief, we all agreed that we want to collaborate rather than compete. (The context of the discussion was on availability of work/cases.)  Also it’s much nicer to say [...]

a newly coined word – protodigital

Checkout Ralph’s blog on Why E-Discovery is Ruining Litigation in America and What Can Be Done About It In the world of IT and wearing my project manager hat on, ediscovery/edisclosure is another ‘activity’ to add to the list of items to consider. In the past (before ediscovery/edisclosure is coined) and in projects I have [...]

My first publication

In the past, I’ve written lots of system/software documentation/specification and project plans etc. but today I really feel a different sense of achievement. My article “Electronic Discovery/Disclosure: From Litigation to International Commercial Arbitration” appeared in The International Journal of Arbitration, Mediation and Dispute Management, V 74, N 4, Nov 2008 (The Arbitration Journal by the [...]

Social Networking site

Yesterday (Sunday 28th September), I started a social networking site at www.adrtribunals.ning.com Soon the site will be just www.adrtribunals.com. There is also an iADRt (international ADR tribunals) ‘badge’ located on this blog right hand side menu. Do visit and join for free and welcome any views/comments.

An insight into what could emerge from even a ‘spillover’ event ran loosely based on the Open Space Technology (OST).

The ‘spillover’ event is the BCS BarCamp5 Spillover held on Saturday 28th September at the BCS Office in London. I was notified of the BarCamp event just two days before the planned event. Before the actual day, it seems to be a momentous event for the BCS as reported in the BCS blog. Having attended [...]

Our ever growing information intensive lives

My friend, Conrad highlighted an interesting article to me: Web Science: Studying the Internet to Protect Our Future Studying the Web will reveal better ways to exploit information, prevent identity theft, revolutionize industry and manage our ever growing online lives. By Nigel Shadbolt and Tim Berners-Lee I am aware that there are couple of ‘closed’ [...]

‘How to’ collaborate with diverse stakeholders – an exploration

Given that most organisations have many policies and procedures covering various legal and compliance requirements and that there is already an industry process model, Electronic Discovery Reference Model, why do I still feel the need for a collaboration framework? Furthermore, there are technology vendors/suppliers providing various forensics and investigations related tools and software for ediscovery/disclosure. [...]
