See You at Legal Tech!

Posted on January 25, 2013December 8, 2015 by Jane A. Bennitt in GLE On the Road

I have been to Legal Tech pretty much every year since it was first held and the main topic of discussion for at least the past decade has been eDiscovery. This year I will be looking for feedback on usage of the UTBMS eDiscovery Task Codes released last year and to monitor the spread of legal ebilling to the eDiscovery community.

There is still some work to do fully align UTBMS coding and legal ebilling to the EDRM Metrics Cube. The revised UTBMS Activity and Expense Codes are in the final stages of ratification, and the LOC needs to kick-off a project to update the timekeeper positions used in the LEDES© ebilling formats. But neither of these prevents clients from using the eDiscovery Task Codes now to finally gain insight into their eDiscovery spend.

A quick update on the LEDES Oversight Committee’s Activity and Expense Code Project: The public comment period closed on 26 October and we received only 8 comments on the proposed revisions. The subcommittee will meet shortly to review the comments and move this project ahead, so look for more on this in future postings.

Welcome to the GLE Blog!

I am not entirely comfortable with “putting things out there” to share with the world. For this reason this blog will be more business and industry focused than a vehicle to relate personal thoughts and experiences.

That said, I want to share something I did the other day that was really interesting. In celebration of its 40th anniversary, the UConn Women’s Center invited Gloria Steinem to speak. Amazingly, Gloria is 78 years old! Her discussion was brilliant and in the spirit of one of her topics, women supporting women in business, I would like to give a shout out to Rebecca, Lauryn, Louann, Cathi and Babs. These ladies are the finest women in legal technology today, all are wonderful role models and working with them is a joy. I salute you all.
