Hi, Guys, As I promised: Why The Cloud Is Not The Contract Attorneys' Friend. Cloud computing encompasses platforms, infrastructure and software delivered over the Internet, instead of residing on local computers. The legal profession lagged behind in adopting cloud computing technologies. It's has yet to be determined whether lawyers stayed out of the "clouds" due to ethical obligations to protect client confidentiality and safeguard their data or because of law firms' inherent tendency to adhere to precedent and do things, "the way it's always been done." Therefore, cloud computing made little headway within the legal industry -- until now. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE PROBABLE FUTURE OF DOCUMENT REVIEW PROJECTS, PLEASE WATCH THIS VISUAL OF THE EFFECTS OF CLOUD-BASED COMPUTING. MOREOVER, YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ ABOUT "TRANSFORMING DOCUMENT REVIEW." Cloud-based computing promises to eventually perfect cost-effect document review projects, requiring far fewer Contract Attorneys, if any, given the new responsibilities of law firm Associates.
