Ouch! Missing e-mails get company socked with big fine Tuesday, July 28th, 2009
While navigating the electronic discovery rules put into effect in 2006 can still be murky, one thing is clear: Failing to adequately comply with discovery requests is a costly mistake. Take this recent lawsuit: In 2007, Dell was sued over an alleged misappropriation of funds related to a surveillance camera system developed for the city of New Orleans. The suit claimed Dell was part of a conspiracy to fraudulently sell the system

Scientists at Penn State University, in collaboration with institutes in the US, Finland, Germany and the UK, have figured out the long-sought structure of a layer of C60 – carbon buckyballs – on a silver surface. The results in Physical Review Letters and Physics could help in the design of carbon nanostructure-based electronics. Ever since the 1985 discovery of C60, this molecule, with its perfect geodesic dome shape has fascinated scientists, physicists, and chemists alike

The practice of law firms marking up the cost of contract lawyers has been around for ages. See some of our previous posts about the subject: a great analysis by Carolyn Elefant by clicking here and further analysis by clicking here . This week there was an article rocketing around the internet which was written by Cardozo Law Professor Lester Brickman and published in this week’s Forbes magazine. We posted it on The Posse List Twitter account (we post items of interest to the Posse List community several times a day and you can see our feed in the right-hand column or click here ). You can access the Brickman article by clicking here . He summarizes the litigation process and then the use of contract attorneys in the e-discovery process and states: “As part of this process, each document is coded as to document type, author, recipients, date, subject and other bibliographical data and put into a searchable data base. The coding is largely done electronically by data processors or paralegals

The royal commission of deception Friday, July 24th, 2009COMMENT Prime Minister Najib Razak has finally announced the setting up of a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) to assuage the nation’s anger over the tragic death of Teoh Beng Hock at the hands of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). But what a let down, and what a deception!Instead of probing his death, the Commission is asked to look into the interrogation methods of the MACC. The absurdity of this move is akin to a school boy caned to death in a school, and the public inquiry is o

Much like many consumers and advocates I have been critical of Experian’s many not-so-free credit report commercials , credit monitoring serv

The terms virtual library, digital library, electronic library, and online library are much used but vaguely defined (See also, hybrid library ). In this post, I will explore the concept, definition, and user of virtual libraries, and argue that there are three core secrets to the success of virtual libraries. Though I prefer the term digital library, I will use virtual library as a synonym for all the terms listed above, in part because it communicates my conclusion better, and because it

Having taught the AIIM ERM (Electronic Records Management) , ECM (Enterprise Content Management) and EMM (Email Management) courses around the world, the topic of whether department managers and users should be notified before records are destroyed within an ERM environment, has only come up once.

It seems everyone is going green these days and more and more corporate transactions and correspondence are being sent via email, text, and yes, social networking sites. The days of corporate paper trails are gone (I guess the boys at Enron would be happy about that!). However, that does not free corporate responsibility for records maintenance.Companies, large or small, are best served when they can support their position from the smallest contract to the largest policy infraction, such as a
