My Top Blogs From 2023

I posted 104 items this year.  Several that may be worth re-reading are:

• How to Read a Load File
• More on “Modern Attachments,” “Pointers,” or Hyperlinked Documents – Humpty Dumpty and “Usability”
• Possession, Custody, or Control – Part II
• Don’t Be Too Nice When You Send a Preservation Notice
• Relevance Redactions Revisited
• ABA Formal Opinion on Misconduct in Virtual Depositions
• Maryland Rules Order Amends Sanctions Rule
• Maryland Amends Ethics Rule 4.4(c)
• Maryland’s “Sunshine Law”:  Cooperation, Searches, Metadata, and Costs (Part III)
• Fowler Cell Phone Decision Affirmed, updating District of Maryland Sets Guidelines for Cell Phone Preservation in Place
• Candor Pays Off When It Comes to Alleged Spoliation: Notice + Accrual = Claims Bar
• Should an ESI Protocol Be Incorporated Into a Court Order?

Two hypertechnical blogs are:

• Better Late Than Never? Case Dismissed for Filing 16 Minutes After Midnight
• What is Double Spacing?

I have written to the American Bar Association to ask whether it has taken a position on the threats against the Colorado Supreme Court.  Threats Against the Colorado Supreme Court Must Be Called Out.  I will update the blog when I receive an answer.

And, of course, there is always the important question of Is it Spoliation to Bury a Dead Cow?

Happy New Year!
