Also, my blog is linked from there. It’s the only blog I requested a link to.

What are your views on the arbitrator’s order for disclosure of data residing on backup tapes?

The article titled ‘The Big Data Dump’. Great title for an article that touches on pretty much the reality of life from technology, business and from the kids to the big boys to the Supreme Court.

Well the  ‘dumping’ also extended to changing the law (American Civil Law) or some new rules. Ms Love Kourlis’s quoted in the article : ‘Judges in civil cases, she says, need more power to assess and define the appropriate amount of information that can be sought in each case. Civil cases ought to require both sides to disclose what information they have, as in criminal cases, thus ending the game of hide-and-seek that makes both parties ask for more, for fear of missing something. And shifting lawyers away from being paid by the hour (see article) would mean that they no longer had an incentive to add to the process.’

Do view the ‘Other Legal Technology Videos’ and  see if you can catch the common themes in these videos and the electronic discovery videos.

Maybe ‘ediscovery’ is too hot to handle. The topics listed under the programme, such as recording, securing and accessing client communications are mostly to do with Know Your Customer (KYC).
It would be interesting to hear the recent lessons from the compliance officers and also how they handle and implement KYC.

Will there be ‘leakages’ of information from the International Derivatives Expo 2008?

Highly unlikely…

If you’re tired of reading articles, here’s a webcast on ‘The e-discovery tool landscape’ .

If you’re too busy to listen to the webcast, here’s a summary from the bitpipe.com site:
