Word of the Week: RAM in Legal Computing 🖥️💻

“RAM,” or “Random Access Memory,” is crucial for lawyers as it affects the performance of their computing systems. Nobody wants a slow computer! 😳 Adequate RAM ensures smooth multitasking, efficient document management, and quick access to legal databases 📚.

More RAM, more power: Work FASTER, not SLOWER!!!

RAM can be likened to the amount of desk space a lawyer has to work with. Just as a larger desk allows for more documents to be spread out and accessed simultaneously, more RAM enables a computer to handle multiple applications and files without slowing down 📊. With sufficient RAM, lawyers can multitask efficiently, switching between documents, research tools, and communication platforms without a performance bottleneck. Insufficient RAM can lead to slow processing times, impacting productivity and client service. Lawyers should assess their computing needs to ensure they have the right amount of RAM for optimal performance, especially when handling large files or multiple applications simultaneously 📊.

Pro Tip: It is better to get a little (or a lot) more RAM than you think you need. Depending on the device you purchase, you may not be able to increase the RAM later if you find yourself lacking.

Happy Lawyering!!!

Podcast #2: Making Document Discovery Production Simpler

In this episode, I talk with Dan Culhane, the owner of Discovery Genie.  Dan and I discuss how his computer product helps attorneys of any firm size save time and money with discovery production for small- and mid-size cases.  I think the listener will enjoy learning how to advance and simplify discovery production and case preparation while saving time and money.  Both are recouped from having to manually create pdfs of files, notes, e-mails (and their attachments) and having to indexing their contents without the need for the larger and more expensive document production software. Enjoy!

Dan can be found at Dan@DiscoveryGenie.com, or 303-872-2410 and followed on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/discoverygenie/
