Practice Tip<b>Get Smart and Be Protected: Common Security Mistakes and How to Avoid Them</b>
October 01, 2003
Despite the time, energy, and money that some large and small law offices funnel into products to maintain network security, their computer network's biggest threat is frequently from the uninformed computer users on the inside. A security program is only as strong as its weakest link, and that is where the human element comes into play.
Feeding the Beast: Improving Time-tracking
October 01, 2003
After all the sophisticated analysis and strategies are stripped away, the key to a successful law practice often comes down to getting the fundamentals right. Just as the success of a baseball team ultimately depends on the proper execution of "throw, catch and hit," so too law firms have to facilitate the execution of those processes which are fundamental to the firm's business. The time-tracking process is the one law firm fundamental that has proven to be the most resistant to improvement. Yet, this tradition-bound process can most benefit from a fresh all-inclusive approach.
ASCII: The 8-Track of Electronic Transcript Technology?
October 01, 2003
The legal industry is known as one resistant to change. For instance, many legal professionals still consider Word Perfect 5.1 as the word processing "Mecca." The same can be said of receiving transcripts electronically; the standard for transcripts in many lawyers' minds is ASCII. The use of this antiquated format for transcript distribution led to the innovation of technology to better control how transcripts are viewed. Now, greater benefits are available to both the transcript author and the customers who use this technology for transcript dissemination and viewing. Just as DOS was replaced with Windows, improved electronic transcript technology has supplanted the use of ASCII transcripts.

The Role of Motive in Franchise Termination Cases
October 01, 2003
Should the franchisor's motive in a franchise termination case ever become the central issue? Some courts answer that seeking the true reason for termination is the target inquiry, as if a franchisor could not have a mixed motive for termination. The question turns the trial into a search as to whether the franchisor has breached an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing which augments the terms of a written franchise agreement. Often the outcome depends on where in the life of the franchise relationship the dispute arises. At the end of the relationship, courts considering the propriety of termination and nonrenewal often treat the role of good faith and fair dealing differently than when, for example, reviewing whether the franchisor imposed unreasonable standards of performance.
