Legal Technology Observer Time Capsule
Legal Technology Observer Time Capsule
June 6 – July 12, 2012
Welcome to the Legal Technology Observer Time Capsule! Legal Technology Observer (LTO), a 6-week concentrated blog produced by Burke & Company LLC and hosted on Legal IT Professionals. Created by Christy Burke of Burke & Company, the blog ran from June 6 through July 12, 2012 and featured some of the most well-known experts in the fields of legal technology, eDiscovery and social media for legal professionals.
LTO was specifically designed to be useful for all legal and legal IT professionals, but was especially helpful for relative newcomers to legal technology who were looking to learn the ropes. For those outside the legal technology “bubble,” the industry can seem like a sea of acronyms and buzzwords, so we asked the experts who participated to define their terms clearly in plain English, without jargon.
The primary goal of Legal Technology Observer was to demystify legal IT topics for audiences ranging from novice to advanced knowledge level. Burke & Company’s own bloggers, including Christy Burke, Melissa DiMercurio, Ada Spahija and Taylor Gould, were joined by many prominent guest contributors. Attached is a time capsule of Legal Technology Observer in its entirety. We hope you enjoy the ride!

Additionally, once the system is operational, there will be some additional work at the outset such as data entry and migration. You need to convince yourself and others that the up-front increase in work and the learning curve will pay off once everything is stored and organized electronically.
So how do you make this happen?
