Legal Commentary

Checkin' the inbox:

* Lawrence Savell, counsel at New York's Chadbourne & Parke, checks in to let his know his latest article, "Minimizing the Legal Risks of Using Online Social Networks, is now available on Law.com. 

* Timothy Corcoran is closing his management consulting practice. "I've been lured back to the corporate sector and will shortly join Thomson Reuters as an executive in the Hubbard One division," he says. His  blog, Corcoran's Business of Law, continues as an independent publication, but will shift to a new address.

* San Francisco's D. Mark Jackson, a partner at Bassi, Edlin, Huie & Blum, has launched LeanLaw, a blog for lawyers and other professionals. It focuses on "organizational efficiency and personal productivity." But I have to confess, his latest post leaves me puzzled: "I?ll be presenting at the U.S. Open golf tournament today. The topic is ethics and electronic discovery," he says.

OK, I guess I'm clueless but what's the nexis between golf and EDD? Perhaps he'll jump into the comments and 'splain it all to us.

* Bill Onwusah, lit support manager at Hogan Lovells, forwards a link about a vendor offering "safe discovery" legal reviews on iPads and iPhones.

*Ashley Carr says I should update my area code link (over on the right nav bar, in the "Practical Magic" list) to her site, AreaCode.org. I just might do that. You might find it interesting, as well.

* Peg Duncan's post about "ECA & the Prince of Denmark" will no doubt entertain the e-discovery crowd. From Slaw blog.
