Remove Hidden Metadata from Word Documents
TechnoEsq, 07/02/08
Unfortunately, metadata has curtailed one of the courtesies attorneys in litigation formerly exhibited through providing discovery requests in an electronic format so that opposing counsel didn’t have to have his assistant re-type your requests when answering discovery.

Is E-Mail Evidence Less Persuasive?
EDD Update, 06/20/08
I suppose it says something about your status in life if you are pleased or appalled to see Wall Street titans with eight-figure incomes taken away in handcuffs and booked. It's a bit like the lawyers in Qualcomm v Broadcom: we can identify with them until the lying starts, and then we no longer see ourselves in their moccasins.

Westlaw Legal Calendaring Gives Litigators a Clear View of Key Trial Dates and Updates

Thomson West

EAGAN, Minn., Feb. 4, 2008 - Successful litigators are always focused on the outcome. But successful outcomes at trial often hinge on essential steps in the litigation process, such as filing dates and deadlines. Today, Thomson West announced a powerful new online tool to give litigators an edge in managing critical trial dates and filing logistics: Westlaw Legal Calendaring.

Westlaw Legal Calendaring is the first Web-based rules calendaring system that allows you to recalculate deadlines. It automatically calculates litigation dates from the first complaint filed through the final appeal, and tracks every event change requiring recalculation along the way, helping litigators and support staff stay abreast of dates and updates throughout a trial.

LeAnn Blanchfield, vice president, Litigation Product Development for Thomson West, said Westlaw Legal Calendaring includes analysis of the federal, state and local court rules by West attorney editors to identify and calculate the calendar deadlines for litigation events, pulling from 750 unique rules sets and 270 intellectual property rules sets.

Through this complete assessment and analysis of rules and docket information, Westlaw Legal Calendaring provides a seamless link to court rules and docket information that translates into automatic calculations - it even provides updates in personal Outlook calendars.

"Westlaw Legal Calendaring eliminates time, expense and worry by keeping litigation on track, especially when the court makes a change and all subsequent deadlines must be recalculated," Blanchfield noted. "Westlaw Legal Calendaring automatically recalculates and updates - something many support teams currently spend endless time on - and then updates the team of these changes through Outlook. This way, the team can easily manage deadlines, and litigators can stay focused on trial strategies and client needs."

Westlaw Legal Calendaring is available on www.litigator.westlaw.com.
