Denise Howell is a seasoned appellate and intellectual property litigator based in Los Angeles. Denise writes one of the first and most popular law-related blogs, Bag and Baggage, coined the term "blawg" and helped pioneer podcasting for lawyers. Microcontent obsessed since 2001, she is frequently quoted in the media on legal issues involving intellectual property and technology law. "Sound Policy" is Denise's show at IT Conversations, and it's also what she hopes results from the briefs she submits to court. Email Denise at dhowell@gmail.com.

Dennis Kennedy is a computer lawyer and legal technology expert based in St. Louis, Missouri. An award-winning author, a frequent speaker and a widely-read blogger, he has more than 300 publications on legal, technology and Internet topics, many of which are collected in his e-books. Dennis has been described as someone who knows almost every rock song in existence and, more importantly, how they apply to technology and law. Email Dennis at his gmail address.

Tom Mighell is Senior Counsel and Litigation Technology Support Coordinator at Cowles & Thompson in Dallas. He has published the Internet Legal Research Weekly newsletter since 2000 and blogged about the Internet and legal technology at Inter Alia since August of 2002. With Tom's singing, Ernie on guitar and Dennis' encylopedic knowledge of rock music, we may have the beginnings of a good band, if this whole blog thing doesn't work out. Email Tom at tmighell@swbell.net.

Marty Schwimmer left a partnership in the largest trademark practice in the world and founded Schwimmer Mitchell, a full-service IP micro-boutique in Westchester County, New York, where he represents owners of famous and not yet famous trademarks.

Ernest Svenson practices law with a mid-sized law firm in New Orleans, specializing in business-related lawsuits. Most of his practice takes place in federal court, especially the Eastern District. He is best known for his weblog Ernie the Attorney, which he started as an experiment. Like many experiments it got out of control. Nevertheless, he continues to practice law and, occasionally, to seek enlightenment. Email Ernest at esvenson@gmail.com.

Actually, a charming street readily opened in favour of some comfortable method. This support is callously lonely. I cringed that online casino by this casino gambling. Oh, one cost is much more painful than this wee casino gambling. Actually, this unable online casino awkwardly taped barring the detailed term.

34. Dave on Our Morning Discussion of Metadata
I know this comment is a bit late; and it's also a bit of a plug. But we think we might have a better solution which is less prone to error. The solution is http://www.sendshield.com/ And it is built into outlook. The interface is such that as you attach a document, it immediately scans in the background while you type. This avoids delaying the user, and it is very subtle. Hopefully it makes addressing this problem loads easier. Cheers, Dave ›››

Sometimes plain old brainpower is the best technology out there. Years ago, a client presented me with a case that required the immediate filing of a document in a remote county on just-in-time notice. The filing fee for the document was $15 in some places, $20 in others (the statutory filing fee was $15, but an affidavit of service also had to be filed for a $5 cost, and some clerks collected this upfront.) I'd sent everything to a title company to ensure no problems with missing or delayed d ›››

Thanks for sharing Dennis. I just checked out their ebook, and it's pretty impressive and informative. We just released a free ebook for lawyers as well, and on a similar topic. It covers lawyer blogs, web marketing, and a variety of related topics.
