I came across a WordPress blog of Mogilevsky Law Firm, P.A. operated by Attorney Jane Mogilevsky that is being used as her website in, I think, a clever way.

Using software tools to redact text from electronic case documents is obviously more efficient than printing out pages, striking out sensitive text with a black marker and scanning the altered documents back into your system. However, improperly redacting an electronic document can have disastrous consequences with the unplanned disclosure of information, such as in Hepting v. AT&T Corp.

On September 15, 2009 TechHit released their latest utility called QuickJump which is a Windows file navigation utility. A beta version had been in use by a number of firms and people including myself and I'm happy to see the commercial launch of this latest tool. Using QuickJump, you can quickly navigate to any folder on your system or a network drive using just your keyboard.
Congratulations to Illinois which has announced availability of another publication in electronic format similar to the State Bar of Wisconsin's InsideTrack enewsletter. The Illinois State Bar has launched its new publication Illinois Lawyer Now Quarterly which joins Illinois Lawyer Now (Online) containing information and articles for lawyers licensed in Illinois.
