Thanks to Ernie for allowing me to co-author here. I've got a couple of goals. One is to help develop a real resource for attorneys, paralegals, judges, and other legal types so they can find what they need to get their jobs done quickly and easily. The other is to explore some of the possiblities for leveraging some very slick technology into an edge in your practice. My background is litigation, so that's mostly where I focus. PDF offers a LOT of possibilities.
There is some interest among lawyers in using technology to improve the quality of their practice, and the speed with which they can do their work. Most progress has been in communications, office management, and research. There are lots of people working on (and yakking about) those issues.
My question, however, has long been "how do I deal with 1 million pages of discovery, with a very limited budget, and precious little technical ability?" I don't claim to have answered that question, but I do intend to keep chipping away at.
BIG DISCLAIMER: Ernie mentioned that I currently work for FERC. Let me state clearly that there is no conceivable way that any opinion I express could reflect the policies of FERC. All opinions, ideas, and nutball schemes are my own, and there is no possibility that I would presume to speak for an agency of the federal government (or state, or local governments for that matter). So remember, this isn't FERC stuff, it isn't Fed stuff, it's just Dave stuff.
