NOTE: This series will cover what happened, how we've adjusted, where we are now, and where we're headed. We will also offer numerous tips, tricks, and best practices for hybrid and remote trials.

I am a big fan of litigation analytics, even once suggesting that it could be malpractice for a litigator not to use the technology. There are a number of litigation analytics products on the market, and what they all have in common is that they extract data from court dockets and apply analytics to provide insights into how judges rule in particular times of matters.

You used the “rule of three” and the FORD method and your talk was really, really small. You made a handful of connections and you followed up when you got back to your desk.
