Are You E-gnorant Of E-Discovery Ethics?

/in /by

The rate at which electronic information is beginning to pervade case discovery is astounding, to a point where almost every case has the “potential” to include electronic information in discovery. This “e-discovery” as it has come to be called is the basis of a number of opinions from the legal field from Florida to California concerning an attorney’s legal obligation NOT to be ignorant of these laws. Find out what you may need to understand about e-discovery and ethics and what is expected from you and your staff in this article.

Current E-Discovery Opinions

The California and Florida State Bars are two legal governing bodies that have recently released opinions on social media and e-discovery ethics in order to get lawyers to understand not only what it is, but how to stay on the good side of judges.

The California Opinion deals with e-discovery and electronically stored information (ESI) and what skills that lawyers should have in order to respect the integrity of the information. There are a number of skills and knowledge that are now required by all lawyers with respect to ESI. It is no longer acceptable to be complacent about this rich area of information in the discovery process. No longer do the courts accept a client’s verbal affirmations that they “did not know” they could not delete their entire social history without consequences.

As the client’s attorney you can set up an e-discovery protocol to ensure this process is handled ethically with your client and with opposing counsel. The first step is to be able to assess a client’s ESI and implement measures for its preservation, such as litigation hold procedures and suspending auto-delete programs until the litigation is over. By understanding your client’s storage and electronic systems and platforms used you can advise them on collection, preservation and introducing effective privacy for ESI without compromising its integrity.

In the Florida Bar’s Opinion it dealt more specifically with client’s social media ESI, where it was discussed how clients could still change their privacy settings on these networks to prevent discovery disasters while at the same time preserving the integrity and viability of the information. Essentially as long as these privacy settings can be put into place without damaging or deleting the information, attorneys can advise their clients to do so. New York also cites in their recent opinion how there is a duty by the attorney to advise clients how to proceed without evidence spoliation and a duty to preserve the information.

Tips For Proper Protocols

Here are some of the top tips on understanding e-discovery and implementing proper protocols in your firm now, so you do not become the object of an annoyed judge’s anger.
1. Learn E-discovery. It is not a matter of “if” but a case of “when” you will need to conduct e-discovery. If you have not learned the ethical rules expected of you ahead of time, there is a good chance you will be caught in the crossfire by opposing counsel and the judge.
2. Have a Protocol. It may seem simple, but many firms still do not have hard and fast rules about e-discovery and ESI policies.
3. Monitor Everyone. As a lawyer it’s not only your prerogative to advise your clients of these rules, but you are actually responsible for your employees to follow these rules as well.
4. Advise Clients. At the very beginning of the consultation process e-discovery needs to be discussed. Clients need to understand that erasing electronic information on social media platforms or in business software is a criminal offense.
5. Be Prepared. It is often requested of attorneys by a judge in a case involving ESI to prepare a joint e-discovery plan with opposing counsel. These requests are usually required to be done quickly.

The process of e-discovery is growing more complex and many legal pundits are expecting more opinions on the ethical ramifications of these issues. Yet one thing remains clear, as a legal representative, you are required to be aware, educated and proactive in your approach.

iPad Deposition Apps And How They Work

/in /by

The legal industry is quickly becoming an automated and cloud based industry, relying more on apps, software and data management in order to improve production timelines, produce more organization within a case and deal with the massive volumes of information needed for depositions and trial cases. This article will look at iPad deposition apps and provide commentary on usage and effectiveness.

Deposition Apps

One of the most common activities for a lawyer is to participate in a deposition. It is far more prevalent than actually going to trial and takes up an inordinate amount of time to prepare for a deposition and to review and organize information after a deposition.

So why are many attorneys not taking full advantage of technology that can speed up the process and make it more efficient?

The American Bar Association believes that if you are not using a couple of deposition apps and transcript management software you are simply wasting hours of time. Unlike taking notes manually or trying to organize the voluminous documents, transcripts and exhibits manually, doing it digitally can be a lot faster. Besides instant search capabilities and instant organization, these apps also provide an amazing host of features that make the actual process of a deposition easier and more organized.

With today’s technology it is even possible to host virtual depositions from any computer or mobile device with an internet connection and webcam!

Common Apps & Their Advantages

Most lawyers who have accepted technology and its advantages usually do not stick with just one app. Part of the reason is most apps focus on a particular part of the deposition or document management process instead of providing an overall solution. Here are some of the commonly used apps:

Annotation Apps

Annotation apps allow documents to be scanned and converted into annotatable documents, directly from your iPad. iAnnotate PDF is a great example of an app that allows you to directly annotate a document with personal notes that can be categorized, labeled and organized according to labels that you can create and modify. This can be done for witness testimony or for exhibits, making note taking an easy exercise, as well as allowing retrieval, search, and organization.

DepoView

A specific deposition app, DepoView is a simple and easy to use deposition management tool. Being able to view entire depositions, create word indexing for easy searching and navigation as well as a highlight feature to keep tabs on relevant information, makes this free app indispensable to some. Even the ability to add in plain text transcripts or digital video transcripts helps keep you ultimately organized and the information you need at your fingertips.

Deponent App

Another useful deposition app the Deponent App, provides critical organization for the actual deposition. It provides over 300 deposition questions as well as an exhibit outline for the deposition, providing a well laid out plan of attack. It allows you to even customize your questions for specific witnesses for a more individual approach. Never fumble through your documents looking for an annotated question again as you develop a host of questions from start to finish ensuring pertinent questions are not left out.

TranscriptPad

Like TrialPad, TranscriptPad is a full featured app that allows you to go through your deposition documents with a fine-tooth comb after it is finished. With a number of high level features for organizing information you can highlight and color code text, flag blocks of text, and create labels for specific lines of inquiry. Take these files and print them, or convert them into PDF or Excel, whichever you are used to working in. A fully searchable program by word or phrase gives you instant access to all points of reference in the deposition to your keywords.

These Apps Save You Time

If you are still manually conducting depositions without the aid of at least some of these apps, you are wasting hours upon hours. Simplify your process by learning to use these apps one at a time. Start with PDF annotatable apps to enable better note-taking and move onto the others as you get comfortable.

An Overview of Predictive Coding Made Easier Using Everlaw

/in , /by

Large cases take tremendous amounts of time for discovery, especially when document proliferation has reached an all-time high. However Everlaw has been refining its discovery software into a predictive coding, translation and case outline tool that has redefined legal technology again.

Key Features of Everlaweverlogo

1. Translation Added

Everlaw has added an automatic translation feature into its software that not only translates, but does so by automatically detecting the language and performing automatic translations. Through the automatic language detection and translation procedure, Everlaw then annotates the document set of the same language into groups. It then determines whether the documents are primary to your investigation and relevant.

With this amazing new feature with up to 53 programmed languages you can filter documents per language, group them together, analyze their relevance and send them to an appropriate reviewer. The software however, is not meant to do machine translation of documents; you will still need separate translation services for those documents that are deemed relevant.

2. Predictive Coding Engine

The Everlaw software is based on a continuous active learning system that allows the software to actually learn based on previous searches that you have done. Essentially the more you use the software, the better and more accurate it becomes at finding relevant documents for your cases based on your criteria and its predictive coding engine.

By using the software’s smart interface you can generate prediction models based around any pair of classifications that is relevant to your actual case. The prediction models begin automatically as soon as you start conducting reviews and searches within the documents. This way, those documents that are not relevant as you have already established, provide a learning curve for the program to sort out and cull all the non-relevant documents based on your own search criteria.

Yet, what if you are short on time and have not had time to start reviewing documents or conducting searches? The predictive coding is still applicable and useful. Simply choose the variables that you believe are relevant to your deponent and conduct a search of documents not yet reviewed with a relevant score of 75% or greater. Afterwards, conduct a search of those predicted to be not relevant at 25% or below and spot check those documents. If the check supports the prediction model you can move on quickly.

3. StoryBuilder

While you prepare your case, often you make an outline and follow it to the cases conclusion. Within the software this can also be used to help organize your searches for discovery enabling clean and efficient lines of questioning, searching and analysis of the documents.

Through building your evidence as you would your case in court, it enables a much better cohesive argument to form at an earlier stage in the process. Story building helps you weave a compelling narrative using the evidence based in the documents that you have reviewed and searched during discovery with Everlaw. See the StoryBuilder overview here.

Information Overload Made Easier

Everlaw software is transforming how attorneys handle information overload. Instead of hiring a hundred interns, you can now have an easy to use software application to ensure nothing is missed in discovery.

Top Five Legal Apps for Lawyers Using iPhone & iPad

/in /by

Are you an attorney that has succumbed to the advances in technology that ultimately and begrudgingly made your life easier? Technology is not always welcomed in the legal realm as it can often be looked at with concern over security and privacy. However, many lawyers have converted simply because the security is industry-grade and the ability to be productive anywhere, anytime with an iPhone or iPad is too good to pass up. Nowadays legal apps allow attorneys to access law libraries, prepare for courtroom trials, conduct a virtual deposition and much more – all from a smartphone or mobile device.

The following is a list of the top ‘legal’ apps and do not include apps you have come to rely on such as DropBox, Goodreader or Penultimate.

Legal Apps for Lawyers

  1. Fastcase

If you do not have a legal research team or on-site access to a law library or case histories, then this app is for you and it is free. With portable access to the entire Fastcase law library allowing access to state and federal cases all over the United States makes it a must-have.

Just think of how many times you wish you had printed out the facts of a case or forgot to do so. Now you can access those facts anywhere, anytime.

  1. TrialPad for iPad

Instead of the multitude of apps that have been cross-developed from other industries and simply applied to the legal profession, this app was built from the ground up specifically for trial lawyers for use in courtroom preparation and during court proceedings. With specific features for designing your presentations, the easy formatting allows highlighting and document call out features and even offers remote presentation applications. Although it is not free, its cost is very fair compared to other large presentation software on the market.

  1. iJuror

Ever wish you could have an app specifically for juror selection. Well iJuror is the app for you. Not only is it used for note taking, information recording, and general impressions during the selection process- it also allows reporting functions to present a clearer picture about your potential selections. Also, you will have a clear jury selection map that allows you to drag and drop jurors into strike boxes for you, or opposing counsel.

  1. Black’s Law Dictionary

Looking for a reference app that is widely accepted as the ‘go-to’ app? Since Black’s Law Dictionary in print is the most cited law book in the world, it is without a doubt that the app is equally as important to have. The best part is not having to carry that prodigious volume around with you in hardcover. Now you can even Boolean search your words with a smart search that provides alternate spellings as well.

Keep An Eye On The Time

  1. Time Keeper

Technically not a legal app, but what is a career in law if you cannot keep accurate time of your billables? This app allows you to set up different clients or projects to track time against with start and stop buttons to control the timers. With detailed notes you can also view times, added notations and even calculation formulas. You can even specify an hourly rate per client.

With these 5 apps a lawyer using an iPhone or iPad can easily remain productive, in and out of the courtroom and even keep track of billable hours.

What You Need To Know About Net Neutrality

/in , /by

Net neutrality advocates everywhere were pleased with the recent decision by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to strengthen the support for net neutrality by making internet broadband connections a telecommunications service as defined by the FCC. Although freedom access pundits are claiming this is a major victory for users and consumers of the internet everywhere, another faction is also claiming it as another victory for privacy rights of broadband users.

What is Net Neutrality?

Essentially, net neutrality is what is already in place in most western countries; free, unfettered and equal access to all types of communications via the web. Whether you are a single mobile user, a small business or a large consumer of data on the web, current providers do not block, treat differently, throttle or charge for different speeds of delivery of that content. What large cable companies and telecommunication companies like Verizon and Comcast want is to be able to develop a tiered system where they can charge customers different prices based on the speed of the broadband, as well as being able to block certain high bandwidth content such as videos on Netflix.

With the FCC making the internet and broadband a public communication utility service, it essentially guarantees that it remains unblocked, for now at least. Congress, the judicial system or even future FCC boards can change the current decision and reverse the current situation. So how does this affect your privacy?

Net Neutrality and Your Privacy

Previous to this decision, internet service and broadband providers were not considered common carriers, whereas telephone communications were. The difference is quite a sweeping change to previous rules regarding your ability to surf the web in privacy. Before the current changes, your internet service provider was subject to Section 222 of the Communications Act, because it was not classified as a public communications service.

Now that it has been classified as such, cable companies, internet service providers and telephone companies providing broadband access on their phones are all now required to meet a different level of consumer privacy, read more about this here. This section in the Act requires communication companies to protect consumers’ proprietary information. This not only refers to the type of service provided and its technical aspects, but also any information that is made available to the carrier by the consumer as a result of this relationship.

On a traditional phone, this was simply limited to keeping your conversations and phone calls private including who you called and the nature of the content of the call. With applying the rule to internet usage there are broader implications. Now these providers can no longer get away with selling your usage data to third parties without your consent. They will need to protect every aspect of your relationship with the carrier including the content you consume, how it is consumed which includes websites visited, videos watched and searches made.

The FCC is also a federal body that enforces privacy on a broader scope than the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which was previously responsible for consumer privacy with respect to internet use. With the FCC there are already very strict regulations concerning telecommunications and these can be easily applied directly to internet usage now that all internet service providers are considered common carriers, the same as telephone companies.

Although Net Neutrality was a huge win for a consumer’s right to devour online content, it is even a larger win for privacy advocates.
