Information Inflation: Can The Legal System Adapt?, George L. Paul, Jason R. Baron Jan 2007

Information Inflation: Can The Legal System Adapt?, George L. Paul, Jason R. Baron

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Information is fundamental to the legal system. Accordingly, lawyers must understand that information, as a cultural and technological edifice, has profoundly and irrevocably changed. There has been a civilization- wide morph, or pulse, or one might say that information has evolved.

As noted in the September 2005 Report of the Standing Committee of the Judicial Conference recommending adoption of the 2006 Amendments, preservation obligations “arise from independent sources of law” and are dependent upon “the substantive law of each jurisdiction.” However, the Amendments have a major impact on how parties must analyze and execute preservation obligations involving electronically stored information (“ESI”).

Blogger Beware: Ethical Considerations For Legal Blogs, Adrienne E. Carter

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Attorneys are, in a sense, their own gatekeepers.
