Today litigation has become complex and demanding and this is due to the modern marvel of instant and unlimited electronic information made available due to advancement in digital web technology. There is more information to be accessed and processed every step of the way in litigation and one must know where to draw the line.

Off late there has been a change in the way litigation support specialist work is done especially the E-discovery related services because of the new federal amendments that has come into effect. According to the new amendment metadata should be thought of as information associated with a document that is not visible in the normal viewing or printing of that document. Companies will now have to retain all their emails and communication or may find themselves at risk in the future.

ON April 12, 2006, the Supreme Court amended the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) that address the discovery of ESI (electronically stored information.) The new rule was passed and came into effective from Dec. 1, 2006. It now allows documents unknowingly produced by lawyers to be either returned or destroyed. Attorneys and lawyers must conduct a good and efficient document review before producing any documents that could make them or their clients vulnerable in the future. There are two technical legalese terms one must comply with in litigation. They are the "clawback" agreement and the "quick peek" agreement.

It is now known after six months of the new regulation that the demand of this new FDA amendment is not very easy for everyone to comply with immediately, and many companies both big and small within USA are still struggling with it. This is because it requires cooperation between different departments like IT, legal, records management, etc to successfully implement it.

An expert witness is a witness, who by his education, work and experience has special knowledge of a subject that far exceeds that of an average person and is thus legally respected for his opinion during litigation. The Daubert standard is a legal precedent set by the Supreme Court of the United States about allowing litigation support expert witnesses' testimony during a legal proceeding.

If one has to exclude the testimony of an expert witness who may have no expertise a Daubert motion can be raised during or before the trial. It is believed to be a legal strategy to exclude scientific evidence in court. According to the US supreme Court it is now the duty of the trial judges to check if the evidence is reliable and relevant or not. This was because of certain fraudulent expert witnesses that had been produced in the court in the past.

In the historic Daubert case aginst Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals Inc, a parent sued the company as her baby was believed to have congenital defects due to a drug made by the company. Finally a summary judgement was given to the defending pharmaceutical company.

Precedence simply means repeating some thing the way it was done before. In legal docoment writing, precedence is one of the main features that is valued. Precedence and analogy are two forms of legal arguments. Precedence however is distinguishable and subject to over ruling. Other main features of legal writing are,

• Authority
• Vocabulary
• Formality

Lawyers always are known to use the same words and formats that were used earlier for similar or identical cases. Thus old documents are re used any number of times for the new but similar occasion with just the necessary changes. Such formats are referred to as legal forms or document templates. Similarly, citations are also given high legal importance as they have been issued earlier by a legal authority. Based and backed up by such citations, statements and arguments are made by the lawyer during litigation. Precedence based legal research is often done by law professionals who spend a lot of time searching for the right and appropriate citations from past cases.

Besides the value of precedence, legal document writing also gives importance to the vocabulary used. There are certain words that are exclusively for the legal and law usage. These include words like, tort, writ and novation. Legal documents are always very formal as a result of the above mentioned features. Lawyers also like to maintain a formal language in their documents as it conveys a serious and lofty purpose of the law. But off late there has been suggestions from legal authorities and a "plain English" movement for making legal documents simple and immediately intelligible if not for the lay man at least to those who are concerned with it.

It is true that while immigrating into a country, the immigrant must essentially know some useful things about the country and its history. The United States government is right now in the process of changing its citizenship and naturalization test. Testing the new questions with volunteers from different states is currently under way. Trivial details are slowly being eradicated in these new tests and it is not sufficient to just learn answers by rote. Authorities are making the new questions such that the knowledge will be actually useful to the citizen. The new test will become official sometime in 2008.

Potential new citizens will also have to take an immigration interview orally. This interview is designed to also test the English speaking capability of the immigrant. Here are a few sample questions from the new citizenship test.

• What does the Constitution do?
• What is an amendment?
• What does "We the People" mean in the Constitution?
• Name one right or freedom from the First Amendment.
• How many amendments does the Constitution have?
• What did the Declaration of Independence do?
• What do we call changes to the Constitution?
• What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?

There has been a lot of talk and hype about India based legal process outsourcing (LPO) projects lately, and Forrester Research, the premier US based research organization has actually found the approximate number of people in India doing legal outsourcing jobs was only about 12000 at the end of 2006. By 2015 the number of legal outsourcing jobs in India is believed to reach about 79000.

Actually, legal outsourcing from India started only after 2005. India had earned about 6 Billion US dollars from outsourcing projects in the US prior to 2005, and the contribution from legal outsourcing to this amount had been almost nothing. Forrester has also predicted that by 2015 there will be a dramatic increase in Legal Outsourcing and the annual earning for India could go up to $ 4 billion.

Some of the different types of legal process outsourcing sent to India include legal documentation, legal transcription, legal research, litigation support, and legal website design and maintenance. A steady percentage of professional lawyers are already preparing themselves in India to get into the lucrative US based LPO jobs.

Today the global legal transcription outsourcing business has its focus on India. His is mainly due to the large low waged but talented English educated work force available in the country. Another advantage that the companies based in India have is the time difference between India and the United States. It is very convenient for the legal files to be transcribed from the US to be uploaded on to the Internet in the evenings. These legal files that could be court hearings or depositions etc are usually audio recorded files that are immediately worked upon in India which has a time difference of about 12 hours. Thus prepared transcripts are sent back and clients in the US receive the finished transcripts by the next day morning.

Thus very low TAT (turnaround time) is characteristic in the transcription outsourcing business. Regular and routine outsourcing contracts for legal transcription from offshore countries like India is a very economical option for the law firms and attorneys based in countries like the US, the UK and Canada and saving exceeds more than 40% when compared to domestic transcription work.

There were doubts about the quality of the outsourced works a few years ago but today it is well proven that by outsourcing legal transcription and other legal services to India, one can expect high quality work done with accuracy levels of up to 99%. Other legal services like legal documentation, litigation support, legal website development and legal research are also successfully joining the outsourcing bandwagon.
