ALSP Feb 2008 Newsletter

ByMike McBride February 23, 2008July 19, 2014 Reading Time: 1 minute

It’s available right now, I believe the newsletter is still available to non-members on the website, but I’m not sure how long that will remain true as they move past the introductory membership rate. There’s actually some really interesting stuff in there, including a good look at the Texas State Law pertaining to private investigators doing computer forensics. It’s not a pretty picture when they’re basing the requirements for something as complex as electronic collection and processing on being a license private investigator.

I’m finding some nice value in the newsletters, enough to get value from my introductory membership rate anyway.

Linked – Changing the eDiscovery Burnout Blueprint: Practical Solutions to Address Failing Mental Wellness in the eDiscovery Industry
ByMike McBride October 22, 2024 Reading Time: 1 minute

It’s great that someone is putting it all in writing with research. Still, until the collective response to our stories about dropping out of a wedding to pop open our laptop is “that’s not acceptable,” we will have this issue. We should reconsider the tales of all-nighters, working from vacations, and extraordinary efforts to get eDiscovery work done in time. Instead of wearing them like badges of honor, we should think of them as exploitation. What else would you call the expectation that you are available to respond 24/7, and when you sacrifice much of your personal and family life to meet that expectation, you are rewarded with a 2% raise at the end of the year?

Because as long as that is the job, mental health is going to be an issue.

Heading to ILTA 2012 – Another Different Experience
ByMike McBride August 21, 2012 Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last year, I attended the annual ILTA conference in Nashville as just an attendee, with no speaking commitments. That made for a bit of a different experience than the previous years that I had attended, and I enjoyed the freedom to attend more sessions, enjoy the social gatherings without fretting for missing prep time for…

Linked – Email and Calendar Data Are Helping Firms Understand How Employees Work
ByMike McBride September 9, 2017September 8, 2017 Reading Time: 2 minutes

This is interesting to me, because it is almost exactly one of the examples I used to use in training to talk about analytical tools. “One of the key enablers is the analysis of email traffic and calendar metadata. This tells us a lot about who is talking to whom, in what departments, what meetings…

LexMonitor

Looks like the fine folks who run the LexBlog service are also getting into the same Blog Aggregation service that the ABA Journal’s Blawg Directory has been in for a little while now, with the “soft” launch of LexMonitor today. I’ve been seeing some things on Kevin’s blog about the work being done on it,…

Linked – Seagate 8TB Drive For $229. We’ve Come A Long Way, Baby
ByMike McBride July 6, 2016July 5, 2016 Reading Time: 1 minute

Yes we certainly have come a long way, and more importantly, if you can spend that little to get 8TB of storage, there’s simply no reason to not have a backup of all the data on your machine. On the flip side, if everyone can easily have 8TB+ of storage in their home, we need…
