Taking Responsibility for the e-Discovery Process
Your company has just been sued in federal court. In this age of electronic discovery, you know you will apportion a large majority of your litigation costs to discovery, with the bulk of the expense for e-discovery. You also know the process of gathering, recovering, reviewing and producing electronically stored information (“ESI”) can be expensive, time-consuming and tedious. Your company may not have all of the resources in place to handle the task, and the job may even be too big for your outside counsel to handle in its entirety. It is no wonder, then, that when discussing pre-trial strategy with your litigation team, outsourcing the e-discovery process is a topic on the table.
Outsourcing, however, is not without risk. Often, IT consultants do not understand the law, the review team is not intimately involved in the case, and counsel lacks basic knowledge of information systems, affecting their ability to manage the process. Combine all three risks into one case, and you have the makings of a perfect sanctions or legal malpractice storm.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
