2012-07-11

MCLEAN, VA, July 11, 2012 (Press-News.org) ZyLAB, a leading provider of eDiscovery and information management solutions, today announced that Mary Mack, Esq., enterprise technology counsel for the company, will participate on a panel discussion to "Recognize and Reconcile the Ethical and Contractual Tensions that can arise between Inside Counsel, Outside Counsel and Providers." This session is offered as part of the E-Discovery for the Corporate Market Exchange Conference hosted by the Executive Counsel Institute (ECI) on July 16-17, 2012 at the Grand Hyatt New York. Other panelists for this session include Steven Bennett (Jones Day), Jason Lichter (Seyfarth Shaw) and Andrea D'Ambra (Drinker Biddle).

This topic endeavours to help law firms and corporate clients leverage litigation service providers as part of a mutually-beneficial strategy to secure firm profits and reduce costs to clients. Among other things, the panellists will discuss the elements of a stable relationship, the management of the relationship with the service providers, and how certain technologies may support or complicate the relationship.

"Corporate legal departments and their law firms can clearly benefit from the expertise and efficiencies of outsourcing certain services, but there is also significant value in coordinating the use of technologies to protect the integrity of data (and evidence), fostering true collaboration among inside and outside teams, and providing clients with peace of mind from automatic progress reports and software dashboards," said Mary Mack.

E-Discovery for the Corporate Market Exchange Conferences hosted by ECI are offered several times during the year in key cities across the country. The subject matter is tailored to corporate legal departments and leaves attendees with practical guidance to reduce the costs and complexities of eDiscovery for their organizations.

Wisconsin Law Too Hard on 17-Year-Olds?

2012-07-11

At age 17, you are too young to vote. You also can't buy alcohol or cigarettes, and your access to some common household items -- like over-the-counter medications containing ephedrine and chemicals like benzene -- could be limited. If you are 17 and commit a crime, though, you will face the same consequences as an adult. Why is that important?

The different goals of the two justice systems mean that an identical crime could have very ...

New Texting Law a Challenge to Pennsylvania Law Enforcement

2012-07-11

Police and other law enforcement officers in Pennsylvania are struggling to enforce the new texting while driving ban that went into effect in March. State and local police say that they are responding to the enforcement challenge by formulating a strategy that will minimize their time in court making the charges stick while continuing to enforce what some critics say is a weak law.
