You may think that the new technology coming out of the International Legal Technology Association conference at the Las Vegas Aria, on Aug. 22-26, is a walk in the park after LegalTech New York. That may be true if the park is Yellowstone. There is plenty going on at ILTA 2010 in the e-discovery space, as well as other areas of legal technology. Here are a few items to focus on when the doors open.
e-Discovery Insights: 2010 ABA Legal Technology Survey

2010 ABA Legal Technology Survey
Nothing like a Friday afternoon to examine six volumes of law & technology statistics from the ABA. I was somewhat amused when I accessed their page and discovered that they’d received an endorsement – from yours truly. Somebody apparently liked something I said about last year’s survey and quoted me.
The ABA provided me with some excerpts, so I reviewed them and picked out a few that I thought would be of interest.

Outsourced Project Management & Consulting
February 25, 2010 By Leave a Comment
With the recent turmoil in the financial markets, the legal industry has become very sensitive to cost and overall value for services, with questions like “what makes good business sense?” and “is there a more efficient solution?” being asked in conference rooms throughout the country. Many organizations are running extremely lean and simply do not have the resources to support the hiring of experienced legal technology professionals to their staff. Fortunately, there is an efficient solution that does not sacrifice quality – outsourced project management and consulting.
Global EDD Group provides consulting services to law firms, corporations and vendors in need of flexible expertise for a specific project or case. Our consultants average over 15 years of proven experience in litigation support, data preservation, electronic discovery and document review that can be leveraged at a fraction of the cost associated with the hiring of a full time employee.
Big case? Staff stretched to thin? Tight deadline? International project? Contact Joseph Turner at Global EDD Group for a flexible solution to your immediate needs.

Using Technology to Help Your Firm Grow
October 31, 2009 By Leave a Comment
At the August meeting of the International Legal Technology Association, or ILTA, there was a provocative session that Ron Friedmann summarized in his “Strategic Legal Technology” blog at www.prismlegal.com. The session discussed technologies that are disruptive to the traditional practice of law.
The point of the session was that these technologies are also growth opportunities for those lawyers and law firms that change the way they think about the practice of law and embrace these new opportunities to differentiate themselves from their peers.
The purpose of this article is to examine some of the insights generated from the ILTA session and identify the mindsets and skills that will make it possible to seize the opportunities presented by new technologies and use them to differentiate yourself and your law firm in the marketplace.

Revised FTC Guidelines: Blogger Beware
October 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Regular readers of blogs and other Internet-based newsletters know it is not unusual to see product reviews in these publications. While sometimes the reviews appear to be careful, impartial journalism, at other times the writer seems just a wee bit too enthusiastic about the posts subject matter.
There are good reasons to question just how impartial the authors of these reviews might be. Advertisers often “comp” writers with free products or other benefits in the hopes of receiving favorable reviews, though it does not have to go that far. A Web site or blog that depends on click-through traffic for revenue may be so hungry for copy that its authors simply cut and paste blurbs received from a products public relations department, without ever receiving or using the product that is the subject of the post.

Law Firms Look at Process Management
October 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment
What do lawyers and general contractors have in common? Nothing yet.
But the idea that the legal profession could look to the processes used by general contractors in completing a job was one raised at an Association of Corporate Counsel Value Challenge meeting in Philadelphia this summer.
Project and process management — in essence the antithesis of the billable-hour model — is a concept being eyed by law firms as they try to ensure they can deliver the efficiency required to make good on their alternative fee arrangements.
