In the past, each piece of paper was stamped with a "Bates" number -- to help manage exhibits. But with digital files, no "pages" and no "Bates" number! Now files may be anything from Excel spread sheets to Word files, to e-mail, to iPod downloads! What to do? Listen as Monica Bay, editor-in-chief of Law Technology News talks with Tom O'Connor, director of the Legal Electronic Document Institute (and a long-time member of Law Technology News' editorial advisory board) who says it's time to rethink how we process and review files. Hear about a simple step that controls costs, improves accuracy and could dramatically change the face of e-discovery. O'Connor also discusses this month's Louisiana Bar Solo and Small Firm Technology conference in New Orleans -- designed to help practitioners affected by Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Both O'Connor and LTN's Monica Bay speak at the two-day event. http://www.legaltalknetwork.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=272 http://www.legaltalknetwork.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=272 Thu, 8 May 2008 16:15:18 -0400 E-Discovery: Defining Documents -- Bye Bye Bates One of the most challenging problems facing litigators is how to work with the massive volume of digital documents produced during discovery.
