Legal Tech: Time to Move from Email to Centralized Platform for E-Discovery
Recently, an attorney at Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer contacted Greg Jordan, the firm's director of discovery operations, with a request. "We need to know what data was loaded and what documents and emails we produced" on a matter that closed in 2008.

The entire matter is tracked, collectively, by attorneys on the matter, together with litigation support staff.

In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly."
