Remove Hidden Metadata from Word Documents

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.

  • All iPod, All The Time (May 15, 2007)

    Eric Sinrod of FindLaw

    The iPod has become such a ubiquitous tool in everyday life that the time has come for iPod.pedia, a book that refers to itself as The Ultimate iPod and iTunes Resource. While I was skeptical at first, upon reading, I must admit that this book, by a non-Apple insider, contains a treasure trove of useful and fun information for iPod junkies like me.

    Robert Ambrogi for BullsEye, an IMS ExpertServices Publication of IMS ExpertServices

This article will explain some of the dangers associated with using audio evidence without a transcript.
  • The Case Against Digitally Recorded Evidence (December 01, 2005)

    Joel Charles of Joel Charles

    In recent criminal cases, the prosecution has given the defense compact discs, supposed copies of audio recordings which the prosecution intends to use in evidence. In the instances when the original recordings were made on analog cassettes, an important legal question arises: Are the digital CDs true copies of original evidence?
  • The Dawn of Digital Litigation: Media Tools in the Courtroom (November 01, 2004)

    Kellie Q. Ryan of Art of Law

    Now, more than ever, people prefer visual media for communication and learning. This includes judges, jury members, and even, the opposing side. Litigation Media is developing much the same way that Hollywood studios began, by retaining production in-house. However, with today's micro-sized media technology, small firms can level the playing field.
  • "Helping Juries See Things ""With Their Own Eyes""" (March 01, 2003)

    Craig Martin of Archetype 3-D Images, Inc.

    "Law firms that understand how to ""make their case"" visually have a distinct edge in the courtroom, and most firms realize that visual presentations are among the best resources for supporting their case. Computer graphics and three-dimensional models can translate information in a way that adds clarity and allows a jury to see things ""with their own eyes."""
  • Court Rooms Go High Tech (March 01, 2003)

    Joel Zand of FindLaw

    When you step before a judge and jury these days, counselor, you're not in Perry Mason's courtroom anymore. In state and federal courts around the country, attorneys will find it easier to utilize audio, visual, and computer equipment to tell a story to juries. Whether you're trying a civil or criminal case, the impact that these tools can have on your case can be well worth the effort.
