Question 2

Immediately after the defense attorney for Greenway Chemical finished her opening statement, a lightning strike caused a temporary power failure throughout the courthouse. Although power was restored within a few minutes, the sudden shutdown of Jack Parsons' laptop damaged its hard drive, which contained the entire trial presentation. The laptop could not be rebooted, and the hard drive was permanently destroyed. All of the necessary files still existed on the file server back at the office, but it would take several hours to obtain a new computer, find a secure Internet connection, and upload the files. In chambers, Jack explained the situation, but the judge refused to grant a continuance or a recess. What could Jack have done to avoid this disaster?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Jack should have saved an exact copy of the entire presentation file, along with back-up of the trial presentation software, on a separate external hard drive. This external hard drive would have been protected from being damaged by the electrical storm. Jack also could have used a back-up power supply to keep the equipment running, even during the outage. As an added layer of protection, he could have had a back-up laptop with the same files and software to replace the failed unit.
