ABA Section of Litigation
Technology for the Litigator
 

The mission of Technology for the Litigator Committee is to focus on technology and how it can help us as litigators. We will showcase new technologies and help our members, and lawyers in general, understand what is available and how it can be used cost-effectively. We will also focus on legal issues affecting, or affected by, technology, including electronic discovery, evidentiary issues and courtroom technique.
