Successful on Purpose: Keith Slyter and His Mobile War Room Command Center

Apr 20, 2011

Hard work is not new to Keith Slyter, a litigation paralegal living in Dallas, Texas. A native of Minnesota, Slyter grew up on a dairy farm in a small town called Rose Creek, somewhere near the Mayo Clinic. If it weren’t for the bitter winters and exhausting cold weather, he may still be there today. Sylter’s childhood sounds like something right out of the idyllic American dream. This 43 year-old, easy-going guy with good core family values learned first-hand that if you want to reach your goals, you’re going to have to depend on yourself. Moving to Texas and becoming...

It's Lookin' Good for Real Estate Litigation Paralegals

Jan 30, 2010

David Netzer of Litigation Support Careers is our guest blogger today: We all read conflicting reports regarding employment – but what is the real story? At present, the market stretches to both ends. At one end, some companies are hiring while others are in the middle of a hiring freeze and at the other end, are continued layoffs. A company may issue a press-release announcing a positive outlook while the annual report of that same firm is showing us grim news. The reality is that various companies will always be growing or shrinking in any economy due to a variety... Read more →

"The Data Boom: Can Law Firms Profit?"

May 20, 2007

Yeah, oh, yeah! Read how in this Legal Technology article about how MoFo responded when a small client was hit with a huge discovery request: "In the fall of 2005, a small Israeli technology startup came to San Francisco's Morrison & Foerster with a lawsuit -- and, soon enough, a problem. [snip] "The stakes weren't particularly high -- just a few million dollars. But after the case was filed, the defendant hit back with an electronic discovery request -- every relevant e-mail, Microsoft Word file, spreadsheet, you name it -- so onerous that its cost alone would take a fair...

"Cognition Launches New Linguistic Search Engine"

Apr 03, 2007

This new search engine could be very helpful for litigation support paralegals: "Every searcher's fear is that a search will produce too little of what you want or too much of what you don't want. And, even if you get a nice collection of the right stuff, is it all the right stuff out there or does it omit things you need to see? In technical terms, does your search strategy balance precision and recall effectively? Linguistic and semantic search engines have long held out the promise of helping computers "understand" concepts, rather than just search for terms. Cognition Technologies... Read more →

"E-Lawyering Requires Rethinking Technology and Law"

Mar 21, 2007

Great article about the new federal discovery rules, describing these changes in an understandable, even humorous way: "This changes everything." "Those three words, wafting on the familiar, buoyant tones of the actor saying them, have staying power. No survivor of the dot-com boom of the 1990s could forget William Shatner's ubiquitous ads on behalf of a certain online travel company. "Indeed, online booking did change the travel industry. When was the last time anyone had a paper ticket, or called a human travel agent just to check flight times? Buyers and sellers of books, music and news all have seen... Read more →

Yay!

"Six Hard-Learned Lessons About EDD"

Mar 07, 2007

New court opinion reminds both law firms & clients "to focus on e-discovery early in litigation": "With the long-anticipated revisions to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure having only recently come into effect, the sense of uncertainty that has historically surrounded electronic discovery promises to linger. While the bar will watch with keen interest as the courts begin the slow process of interpreting and applying these new rules, a recent opinion, In re NTL, Inc. Securities Litigation [PDF file; Nos. 02-Civ.-3013, -7377, 2007 WL 241344 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 30 2007)]. serves as a pointed reminder that basic issues of electronic discovery... Read more →
