Legal Commentary

The troops are arriving in Las Vegas for the International Legal Technology Association annual meeting, and Sean Doherty and I are looking forward to a few days of face time with our wonderful community.

Tuesday, I'll be speaking on an 11 a.m. panel organized by John Alber, a partner at Bryan Cave (and winner of the inaugural LTN Award for "IT Champion of the Year," in 2003). It's a fascinating topic, especially in the context of e-discovery: "Supporting an Alternative Staffing Model."

I've been intrigued by the opportunities and hazards of law firm/GC staffing, especially now that many new outside-the-mold attorney e-discovery roles are emerging. (See "Can You Adapt?")

Panelists include Maureen Atta (Huron Consulting Group), Gareth Evans (Gibson Dunn), and Barbara Schane Jackson (Schane Jackson & Associates).

Hope to see you there!
