<b><i>Product Review:</b></i> Digital WarRoom Pro

Christopher J. Spizzirri

Not long ago, Gallivan Gallivan &amp; O'Melia LLC released Digital WarRoom' Pro for only $895 for a single license. It claimed DWR Pro could handle all electronic discovery needs in modest cases (less than 500,000 documents). This is still the only product I'm aware of that purports to offer this much functionality for this low a price. Frankly, it sounds too good to be true.

The Evolving Minimal Technology Footprint

Eric Hunter

Viacom International got a second shot at proving that Google's YouTube massively infringed its copyrights by hosting clips from shows like <i>The Daily Show</i> and <i>Family Guy</i> without its permission.

  • The Flight to Quality and Workplace Experience
    That the pace of change is "accelerating" is surely an understatement. What seemed almost a near certainty a year ago — that law firms would fully and permanently embrace work-from-home — is experiencing a seeming reversal. While many firms have, in fact, embraced hybrid operations, the meaning of hybrid has evolved from "office optional," to an average required 2 days a week, to now many firms coming out with four-day work week mandates — this time, with teeth.

  • The Powerful Impact of The Non-Foreclosure Notice of Pendency
    RPAPL ' 1331 and RPAPL ' 1403 Notices of Pendency are requisite elements for foreclosing a mortgage. <i>See, Chiarelli v. Kotsifos</i>, 5 A.D.3d 345 (a notice of pendency is a prerequisite to obtaining a judgment in a mortgage foreclosure action); <i>Campbell v. Smith</i>, 309 A.D.2d 581, 582 (a notice of pendency is required in a foreclosure action under RPAPL Article 13). In contrast, an ex parte CPLR Article 65 Notice of Pendency (the "Notice") is not required but it is a significant tool in an action claiming title to, or an interest in or the use or enjoyment of, another's land. The filer does not have to make a meritorious showing or post a bond. Article 65 provides mechanisms for the defendant-owner to vacate the Notice that caused an unilaterally imposed restraint on its realty. But, recent case law establishes the near futility of such efforts if the plaintiff has satisfied the minimal statutory requisites for filing the Notice.
