Legal Commentary

Whirlwind: The booths are dismantled but the buzz remains intense, as we wrap up LegalTech New York.

We saw significant new releases from companies large (Thomson Reuters and LexisNexis) and small (Rosen Technologies); learned a lot about Judge Shira Scheindlin's important new ruling on legal holds; listened with awe as Malcolm Gladwell  and Lisa Sanders (right with David Craig) compared the legal and medical professions; felt more confident about drafting social networking policies; quietly cried as the Cambodia Ambassador to the United Nations, Sea Kosal, accepted the award to the Cambodia Tribunal for its creative technology; networked with established and new friends; and had such energetic conversations that we are all losing our voices.

The conference had an unexpected undercurrent: optimism.

Thank you to everyone. See you in Los Angeles in June. 

P.S. Here are just a few video links from the show: Ari Kaplan, Larry Port (Rocket Matter), Rich King, CaseCentral, Applied Discovery (George Socha speaking)  and yours truly.
