One of the most challenging problems facing litigators is how to work with the massive volume of digital documents produced during discovery. In the past, each piece of paper was stamped with a "Bates" number -- to help manage exhibits. But with digital files, no "pages" and no "Bates" number! Now files may be anything from Excel spread sheets to Word files, to e-mail, to iPod downloads! What to do? Listen as Monica Bay, editor-in-chief of Law Technology News talks with Tom O'Connor, director of the Legal Electronic Document Institute (and a long-time member of Law Technology News' editorial advisory board) who says it's time to rethink how we process and review files.

Both O'Connor and LTN's Monica Bay speak at the two-day event.

Hillary's biggest populist fraud of all is her promise of universal health care for all Americans. Hillary's plan does not provide health care as a right to all Americans. It provides a mandate that all Americans will have to buy health insurance, accompanied by subsidies, the amount of which Hillary refuses to specify, that will almost certainly leave working Americans paying insurance companies thousands of dollars they can't afford for insurance policies that will then add thousands of dollars in deductibles, co-pays and payment caps before they can even get the benefits of this insurance. In other words, Hillarycare 2.0 provides millions of new customers to the insurance industry, padding their bottom line, under which nearly .30 cents of every health insurance dollar goes to profits, administration, marketing, paper-shuffling and executive salaries. Hillarycare uses a rhetorical trick, confusing universal "health care" with universal "health insurance." Universal "health care" makes equal access to health care a right for all Americans and is paid for out of a modest payroll tax on employers and employees and certain other revenues. By eliminating the 30% private insurance load factor, it would cost employers and employees less altogether than the current private system and provide comprehensive universal care to all Americans. There are already 90 Congressional co-sponsors for universal health care, embodied in House Resolution 676 introduced by Congressman John Conyers. Universal health insurance, now adopted by Hillary Clinton as the cornerstone of her health proposals, is actually a plan developed over many years by Republicans to block support for universal health care. Health insurance is very different from health care. Health care provides for the needs of patients as determined between them and their doctors. Health insurance increases insurance company profits by finding ways of denying care and passing increased costs on to consumers through premiums, deductibles, co-pays, and limits on benefits. So don't be confused when Hillary promises universal health insurance. It not the same as universal health care. It will pad insurance company profits, won't provide for everyone's health care needs, and unless Hillary is willing to garnish peoples wages or withhold people's tax returns to pay for their mandated health insurance premiums, it won't be universal either.
