  • An Interview with The Honorable Andrew J. Peck – Part One

    The Honorable Andrew J. Peck, United States Magistrate Judge for the Southern District of New York, graciously allowed me to interview him after the LTNY Man vs. Machine:  The Promise/Challenge of Predictive Coding & Other Disruptive Technologies session in which he participated as a panelist.  Judge Peck shared the panel with industry luminaries Maura Grossman and Ralph Losey, and moderator Dean Gonsowski.   Overall, the session was excellent – very educational, and well organized. When I reached out to Judge Peck last week to request the interview, my intention was to write a review of the session.  I prepared questions and took fast and furious notes during the session.  However, between the time the session was over and the time we sat down for a bite to eat and proceed with the interview, I realized that a session review is not [...]

  • IT’S A WRAP!!! LTNY 2012 is in the books.

    Whew!!  I’m sitting down for the first time in hours…I have a glass of cabernet sitting in front of me next to a significant stack of business cards and marketing materials.  The whirlwind known as LegalTech NY is over and it’s time to decompress and absorb all of the information that I’ve taken in over the past 72 hours.  I tried to get a post out last night (Tuesday), but someone forgot to wash their hands and I caught something that wiped me out for most of night (I think next year, I’m going to wear a surgical mask and rubber gloves or bring a case of Purell).  The sad thing is that I missed some great Tuesday evening events, but our readers can fill in the gap in the comments section. Let’s first talk about the show itself.  It [...]



  • Re-Discover LTNY 2012 – Name that Booth

    In case you could not make THE legal technology conference, LTNY 2012, I thought that I would bring the show to life for you. The eDJ Group’s day kicked off far too early with our eDJ Peer Group breakfast, but we had good attendance and great participation in the open discussion. The team then dove into analyst/press briefings on many (but not all) of the new product releases, which we will boil down for you in the days following the show. I decided to try to abandon my laptop and Moleskine notebook this time. I tried out every iPad note taking app I could pay for that promised to accurately recognize my sanscrit scrawl and render it into searchable text. Utter failure. For those of you from the early EDD days, remember the first generation of OCR programs and wince. That’s about how bad they are. To make it worse, I became obsessed with ditching the ever-present backpack or LTNY trash bag. So I actually shopped for an iPad ‘holster’ and bought an STM sleeve that promised to provide easy, safe storage without the ever present shoulder strap. However, my fashion faux-paux was quickly spotted by my kind team-mates who reminded me that I was wearing a geek man-purse.



  • Barry Murphy Of eDJ Group Wraps Up LTNY Day 1

    The first day of LegalTech NY 2012 was a whirlwind, to say the least.  The day began very early with a breakfast kick-off meeting for the eDJ Peer Group.  It was great to hear actual eDiscovery professionals – those who are on the ground dealing with the day-to-day issues – talk about the topics they would like to see eDJ’s research address.  Among the leading topics:  document retention and disposal; cloud security; legal review cost reduction; predictive coding; and more targeted collections. The general feeling at the Peer Group meeting is that companies are beginning to address broader information governance (IG) foundations upon which to build out more efficient eDiscovery processes.  Over the last 4-5 years, companies purchased point solutions as band aids, but now want a more permanent solution.  I got the sense that these folks were willing to [...]



  • LegalTech NY Week Kicks Off

    The LegalTech NY is gearing up for an excellent week of networking and education.  I already grabbed my lamb and rice dish from the street vendor around the corner and am ready for a full week of eDiscovery fun. My week kicked off with a great chat with Chris Dale before heading out to an impressive event put on by Nuix and The Cowen Group (TCG) at Del Posto.  The Nuix/TCG dinner was one of the best organized LTNY events I’ve been to in awhile. They loaded us in the bus at the Hilton for a ride to the restaurant where we were served delicious wine and hors d’oeuvres.  There were many eDiscovery luminaries at the event (way too many to name and I don’t want to leave anyone out so I won’t try to list them) and there were [...]



  • It’s Off To LegalTech We Go

    The eDiscovery year tends to begin with a bang at the LegalTech Conference in New York (LTNY). LTNY 2011 promoted some pragmatic ideas such as managing eDiscovery as a process and taking control of Information Governance (IG), while also hinting at forthcoming heat around “the Cloud” and predictive coding. If my pre-briefings from vendors this week are any indication, LTNY 2012 will feature similar issues, albeit flavored a bit differently to taste.



  • Information Governance, UK eDisclosure and International Discovery in three days

    In an ideal world, I would keep the week before LegalTech free.  Product announcements pour out with accompanying (and welcome) invitations in advance to find out about the new developments (that is preferable, incidentally, to those who make big an…
