I've seen too many files squeeze in right under a filing or courier deadline. Everything is in order, the document content, footnotes, citations, and your tables. Just prior to, or after clicking the final Save, Send or Print, the Table of Authorities ("TOA") and Table of Contents ("TOC") are updated: The tables fall apart, page numbering is incorrect, text mysteriously appears or disappears from within the table, and formatting takes on a whole new look (and not for the better). I don't see this scenario changing much. Last-minute edits are the nature of the beast. I won't even go into the frayed nerves! What can change is understanding why the tables "fell apart" in the first place, and how to get that file out the door in an acceptable format. You can worry about fixing the file at a later time.

Earlier this year, my firm made it a goal to improve the impact and effectiveness of training efforts, and we made a number of adjustments to our approach. Based on user feedback, we made a shift to shorter classes, focused on very specific topics. We also sent a clear message that we would support "just in time" training, letting our folks know that if they had a problem and didn't know how to best solve it, we would bring training resources to bear immediately so they could apply new skills at the exact moment that they needed them.

Web sites, social networks and other interactive service providers facilitate the display and exchange of a staggering amount of user-generated information, much of it idle chatter, meaningful commentary and helpful information, though some of it defamatory and offensive speech. Without certain protections, a site owner could face liability, and such a threat conceivably would have a chilling effect on the vibrant exchange of ideas on the Web.

The Second Circuit's recent decision in <i>Rescuecom Corp. v. Google, Inc.</i> is but one more step in a long-standing battle that's likely to continue for some time; it's been five years already, and the court merely ruled on a technicality that allows the case to run longer still. Most Google users and advertisers are blissfully unaware of what's going on, and even many involved in Internet commerce don't understand the implications.
