Answer to Question 1

The federal rules acknowledge the role of electronically stored information and the impact it has on litigation. For the legal team, this means developing an efficient way to sort through hundreds of thousands of electronic documents to find those that are relevant to the case, while also protecting the client's interests. Software can assist the legal team in sifting through the documents to comply with discovery rules without jeopardizing the client's interests, such as protecting trade secrets and other confidential information.

Answer to Question 2

The internet is increasingly used to conduct both factual and legal research. Most government information can be obtained through the Internet, including civil and criminal docket sheets, corporate filings, as well as information published by federal administrative agencies and state and local governments. Digital files are shared using the Internet, as well as CDs, DVDs, and attachments to emails. In addition, law firms are using the Internet to create websites, market their services and to provide summaries and commentary on recent legal rulings. Finally, the Internet is used to file documents electronically with the court and to receive notifications of upcoming trial, arbitration and hearing dates.
