The Last of the LegalTech Blog Posts

LegalTech New York '08 concluded yesterday, but the blogger dispatches keep coming.  Arnie Herz of Legal Sanity describes his experience at LegalTech in this post, which opens with these remarks:

I'm no Luddite. Some have even suggested that I’ve hot glued my Blackberry to my hand. Still, I’d be stretching it more than a bit if I called myself a techie. It’s my general belief that people should connect more with one another and less with their gadgets.  Nonetheless, yesterday, I found myself happily taking in the sights and sounds of LegalTech New York. Although there was a free breakfast offer, I was actually drawn there to share the company of fellow law.com bloggers, including Carolyn Elefant, Rees Morrison, Robert Ambrogi, Monica Bay.

In the meantime, at the EDD Blog Online, Jeff Fehrman links to this story on one of the Tech Show e-discovery panels.  One panelist, Andrew Drake, senior counsel for discovery management at Nationwide, expressed disbelief that many in-house counsel did not yet realize that content stored in e-mail constitutes a record that must be preserved for, or produced in e-discovery.  Another panelist, Thomas Lidbury, a partner at Mayer Brown, found that most companies could not figure out how to deal with legal holds on documents, so they wind up retaining backup tapes longer than necessary.  The verdict: Most companies remain either clueless about, or resistant to implementation of an e-discovery compliant document preservation system.
