Buyer's Guide to Brainstorming and MindMapping Tools

By Kathryn Hughes | Monday, September 26, 2011

Coming today to TechnoFeature: They say that lawyers are not visual people. Hogwash. We're all visual. No one's brain, legal or otherwise, works only in the linear, verbal realm. Thus, it's likely you could benefit from mindmapping (aka brainstorming) software. And who better to write a buyer's guide for you than lawyer and document assembly expert Seth Rowland who reviewed allCLEAR and MindManager respectively in two issues of this newsletter back in 2007. In today's TechnoFeature article, Seth moves beyond the product review to deliver for you at no charge a full-blown buyer's guide. Seth discusses nine features to consider when shopping. As a bonus, the appendix to this article lists 14 desktop software and six cloud (Web) products. Did Seth use mindmapping software to create this comprehensive buyer's guide. Need you ask?

Become Screenshot Sharpshooter: How to Defensibly Collect Web Evidence for Use in Court

By Kathryn Hughes | Tuesday, May 24, 2011

Coming today to TechnoFeature: An admission or other material on a Web page can serve as important evidence or help you impeach a witness. But people — especially the unethical variety — can easily change or delete Web pages. Also, the hard drive that houses a Web page can fail. Therefore, you should act quickly and capture Web evidence as soon as possible. But if you don't capture it correctly, you may find yourself unable to authenticate it in court. In this TechnoFeature, Web evidence collection expert Paul Easton explains the four steps involved in properly collecting and preserving Web evidence as well as software tools that can make these tasks easier. He also discusses an alternative method that takes much less time. Sooner or later virtually every litigator will need Web evidence for a particular case so every litigator should learn how to collect it in a defensible manner.
