Knowledgeline Friday, August 12, 2005 Building e-Discovery Teams There has been tremendous coverage, almost ad nauseam, about e-discovery issues lately. Vendors are popping up all over the globe to process data, on-line review tools are being heavily touted and more additional forums are now available to get religion on e-discovery. What I find to be disturbing is that very few people are talking about how to practically apply and disseminate this information within their firm.

Knowledgeline Monday, May 16, 2005 KM Competitive Advantage Matrix One of the first projects I undertook here at Sheppard Mullin, was to develop a menu of potential knowledge management projects that a department or practice in the firm could take interest in.

Knowledgeline Thursday, November 17, 2005 Podcasting, the next big thing? With blogging becoming a bit more mainstream, well at least at my firm, the next frontier for lawyers to get their message out might be podcasting. Like blogging, the barrier to entry for podcasting is minimal. With a voice recording device (handheld or through your PC), a few hundred dollars worth of hardware and software and a website or blog to publish it to, and youre all set.

If youve ever looked at the pitches books law firms put together for prospective clients, its no wonder something like an extranet can help set them apart.
