Your Friday Morning Digital Dump!



Hi there, that was some debate last night!

Anyone else notice how much water Paul Ryan drank?

He's obviously following the P90X nutritional plan to a tee:
In all of the phases eating frequent small meals and drinking lots of water are emphasized.
Where were the celery sticks?  (Biden probably would have chomped them right out of Ryan's hands.)

In other news, DBR reporter Deb Espana reports on law students doing good things:
A Guatemalan teenager who came to the United States with his parents when he was 11 is attending a magnet high school focusing on law studies and dreams of becoming a Drug Enforcement Administration agent.

He is a senior at the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial High School in Miami and seeking admission to West Point.

But because of his status as an undocumented immigrant, he has been unable to take any jobs and faces other limitations as a noncitizen.

To help children and young adults like him, Florida International University College of Law has joined forces with the law schools at the University of Miami and St. Thomas University to handle applications under a change in immigration policy by President Barack Obama. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program allows the deferral of removal for immigrant students and young adults.
Call me crazy, but don't you just love stories like this?

Meet the Herald's newest columnist, Florida Supreme Court Justice James E.C. Perry: 
Make no mistake. It’s not just about the Florida Supreme Court justices and appellate court judges on the ballot. It’s much bigger than that. The integrity of the entire judicial branch — and therefore, the overall balance of our state’s government — is in play.

Look at it this way: Will Florida Supreme Court Justices and appellate court judges in the future hesitate to make difficult decisions that they believe are required of them if their colleagues have been voted out of office for doing just that?

You be the judge.
Not bad, Your Honor -- and already a huge improvement on Garvin!

Finally, this guy is building a practice focusing exclusively on e-discovery: 
Teppler is now going where few other attorneys on the Gulf Coast are, by hyper-focusing his practice on a rare new section of the law: electronic discovery. The concentration isn’t only counterintuitive. It’s also timely, in that the Florida Supreme Court recently adopted seven new rules of civil procedure specific to electronic data discovery in state courts.

The rules are supposed to make the e-discovery process clearer, more specific and more efficient. The rules, which also spell out how judges can sanction attorneys in e-discovery matters, were adopted in July and went into effect Sept. 1.

The trick now is to ensure attorneys, and by extension, their clients, are fully aware of the changes. “There are some landmines (in e-discovery) that can trip up attorneys, to the detriment of clients,” Teppler says. “Attorneys know how to handle technology — kind of. But when it comes to litigation, they are at a disadvantage.”
Right, like I had to ask my kid last night how to change my default settings in iTunes.  He told me to stick my metadata where the sun don't shine.

The children really are our future!
