]]> Comment on Denny Hecker alleges that a former employee stole privileged documents by Eric Cooperstein http://www.tjconleylaw.com/2009/11/denny-hecker-alleges-that-a-former-employee-stole-privileged-documents/comment-page-1/#comment-10 Eric Cooperstein Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:51:47 +0000 http://www.tjconleylaw.com/?p=656#comment-10 Just on the facts you’ve summarized, T.J., I think Hecker’s attorneys are grasping at straws. It looks like they failed to properly protect privileged documents and failed to respond promptly when they were notified by opposing counsel about the docs. Those are 2 big factors leading to a waiver of privilege. The secretary’s alleged violation of other laws won’t likely help him either - there’s no civil “fruit of the poisonous tree” doctrine. But this will be a great example to talk about at the ethics seminar we’re doing on Dec. 4th! ETC Just on the facts you’ve summarized, T.J., I think Hecker’s attorneys are grasping at straws.

If you have time, google “google wave” and watch their developers’ video. It’s long, but if you stick with it for at least 15 minutes, it may change the way you think about electronic communication.

I know that I'm glad I can't access them when I'm working in my cube at the state. I also can't access blogs. :) I think it's okay not to trust employees. I don't trust myself on the issue.

This also I suppose is similar to adoption of prior technologies and mediums (are people checking the fax machine, are they answering the phone or checking their mail). There is a big learning curve, no doubt, but I think the office productivity magic we are all looking for in software may be somewhere in the interconnections that are happening via Twitter and other asymmetrical networks like that.
