A Veteran Litigator Reviews TextMap 6

By Kathryn Hughes | Tuesday, November 22, 2011

Coming today to TechnoFeature: All the talk about ediscovery these past few years makes it seem like that's the only important evidence. However, many smoking guns still reside in testimony because people say the darndest things even after being coached by their lawyer. If you're still reviewing transcripts on paper, we'd like to gently remind you that we're 12 years into the new millennium. It's time for a better tool. In this issue of TechnoFeature, 38-year (not 38-year old) Oakland lawyer Jeffrey Allen reviews TextMap 6, a transcript management program. Jeffrey has used all six versions of TextMap so you won't find a more insightful review than this one.

Reviews of Outlook Add-Ons That Prevent Email Mishaps

By Kathryn Hughes | Tuesday, November 8, 2011

Coming today to TechnoFeature: John Lennon lamented about receiving "no reply" from his erstwhile girlfriend, but in the world of email no reply is often desired. Two problems exist. First, if you send firm-wide or department-wide messages, out-of-office and "Thanks" replies will likely clog your inbox. Second and much worse, replying to all instead of to just the sender can inadvertently disclose confidential and privileged information and get you fired. In this issue of TechnoFeature, Outlook expert and publisher of Small City Law Firm Tech Vivian Manning reviews two Outlook add-ons — "No Reply All" and "Reply to All Monitor" — that respectively tackle these problems. Read Vivian's in-depth review to find out how well they work.
