With Monica Bay
Our new monthly podcast features the editor-in-chief of Law Technology News, Monica Bay, interviewing key experts of the legal technology community, about top issues confronting the legal profession. If it's tech, it's a potential topic — from e-discovery to network infrastructure; from creating courtroon graphics to launching "green law" programs. Each month, Ms. Bay will bring LTN's pages alive with brisk, incisive discussion of today's top trends and developments.
Three states -- Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Nevada -- are leading a national trend to protect consumer privacy, especially when personal data is transmitted electronically.

Monica Bay, Editor-In-Chief of Law Technology News welcomes partner Jane Fergason, chair of the Gardere Wynne Sewell Women's Council, and Jennifer King, assistant director of marketing and business development for Gardere Wynne Sewell, to talk about this star-powered celebration - and how you can plan your next "green" event.

One of the most challenging problems facing litigators is how to work with the massive volume of digital documents produced during discovery. In the past, each piece of paper was stamped with a "Bates" number to help trial teams manage exhibits. But with digital files, there are no "pages" and it becomes increasingly difficult to control the process.
Tom O'Connor, director of the Legal Electronic Document Institute (and a member of Law Technology News' editorial advisory board) says it's time to rethink how we process e-files. Files should be processed as documents, not pages, he argues, saying this simple step will dramatically change e-discovery, lowering costs and increasing accuracy.
O'Connor also discusses the Louisiana Bar Solo and Small Firm Technology conference in New Orleans -- to help practitioners affected by Hurricane Katrina. Both O'Connor and Monica Bay will be speaking at the May event.
