PREPARED E-NOUGH? ATTORNEYS HELP CLIENTS GET THE DOWNLOAD ON DATA SECURITY, RECORD RETENTION AND E-DISCOVERY {8/7/2007}
With all this talk about e-discovery lately, you may be wondering what’s so special about electronic data? Isn’t a printed-out email just a letter?

One of the rules affected by the recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is Rule 26(f), regarding the requirement that parties meet to discuss discovery issues. Like many of the amendments, it is a subtle change that incorporates e-discovery into the rules but it is likely to have a very real impact on a litigator’s practice.

A MAN, A PLAN, A CANAL (AND A RAVEN, TOO)… {7/7/2007}
I never did figure out why a raven was like a writing desk, but I do think I know why Arkansas’ usury law has been like the Panama Canal (and sometimes has had a through-the-looking-glass quality to it, now that I think about it).
