eDiscovery Daily Blog

• July 23, 2012

 

I try to set aside some time over the weekend to catch up on my reading and keep abreast of developments in the industry and although that’s sometimes that’s easier said than done, I stumbled across an interesting compilation of legal technology information from my friend Christy Burke and her team at Burke & Company.  On Friday, Burke & Company released The Legal Technology Observer (LTO) Time Capsule on Legal IT Professionals. LTO was a 6 week concentrated collection of essays, articles, surveys and blog posts providing expert practical knowledge about legal technology, eDiscovery, and social media for legal professionals.

The content has been formatted into a PDF version and is available for free download here.  As noted in their press release, Burke & Company's bloggers, including Christy, Melissa DiMercurio, Ada Spahija and Taylor Gould, as well as many distinguished guest contributors, set out to examine the trends, topics and perspectives that are driving today's legal technology world for 6 weeks from June 6 to July 12. They did so with help of many of the industry's most respected experts and LTO acquired more than 21,000 readers in just 6 weeks.  Nice job!

The LTO Time Capsule covers a wide range of topics related to legal technology.  There were several topics that have impact to eDiscovery, some of which included thought leaders previously interviewed on this blog (links to their our previous interviews with them below), including:
