Make 2011 The Year You Learn More About E-Discovery

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Ralph Losey is putting his money where his mouth is. After years of trying to encourage law schools to do a better job teaching e-discovery, he’s decided to take on that challenge himself, with the help of some friends. Earlier this week, he announced the opening of E-Discovery Law Training, an online course equivalent to a three hour law school class, and is even making the first quarter of the class, 15 modules, free to anyone who’s interested.

Yes, it’s open not just to attorneys and paralegals, but also IT folks, Lit Support folks and others who find themselves in this world of e-discovery on a regular basis. It’s not often us lowly Lit Support folks have access to legal educational resources like this.

I will certainly be taking advantage of the free registration, and depending on how it goes, I am also giving serious thought to paying out for the rest of the course as well. I encourage any of you who are interested in learning more to do the same.

Reading – Will this be on the test?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

“The test, of course, offers nothing but downside. No extra credit, just points marked off. The test is the moment where you must conform to standards, to say what is expected of you. Perhaps a better question is, “Will this be in the Playbill?” The Playbill is the little program they hand out before the…

Bad Instructions in Litigation Support

HashtagLegal put together this little video about the frustration of not getting complete instructions from clients and project managers. One, I found it pretty on point. Two, it reminded me of something I’ve often mentioned to attorneys and other folks in our industry. The “dirty little secret” of working in litigation support is that we…

Linked: Why hybrid work is emotionally exhausting

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

As I said, I was surprised, at first. The more I read however the more clearly I saw a picture emerging, of leaders implementing hybrid as the appearance of flexibility that isn’t really flexibility. How many of the stories shared are of people who are productive at home, but not allowed to simply be productive that way. Or of people who had any decision about how to schedule days in the office in a way that makes sense to them and what they need to do, taken away?

eDiscovery is Killing Us All

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

I saw a post by Jon Canty recently that talked about what working in eDiscovery is like, complete with photos of himself working on his laptop everywhere, at the drop of a hat. Here’s a humbling story from my first year in ediscovery. It was my day off and I was in the doctor’s office….

Linked – Here’s What Happens To Your Brain And Body If You Work More Than 40 Hours A Week

I’d argue that no job is worth risking your health, but I don’t think Elon would see it that way.

I know he likes to brag about his work hours and how “No one ever changed the world working 40 hours per week”. Reading the science on how more mistake-prone employees working all of those long hours can be makes me wonder if Elon had taken a few hours off and gotten some rest maybe he doesn’t make that offer to buy Twitter and find himself in the mess he’s in.

Self Encrypted Drives

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So with the advent of so-called self encrypted SSD hard drives, what does that mean for e-discovery data? Sure in terms of using the drives to exchange data between client and firm, or between plaintiff and defense, having it encrypted is a pretty good idea. On the other hand, will it become more of a…
