With the Consumer Attorney’s Association of Los Angeles’ (CAALA) annual Las Vegas Convention arriving August 29, we’re serializing a feature article on trial presentation that appeared in the May 2013 issue of CAALA’s Advocate Magazine. Last week, Rick started off the series by recalling a recent exclusive visit to the world-famous Jet Propulsion Lab and how a conversation with one of the fastest men on the planet, National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Full Throttle Drag Racer Dave Grubnic, led Rick to draw comparisons between his professional experience and the racing champion’s. This week he bullet points the key issues regarding computer systems, components, and software:
•
A poorly chosen system can be monstrously incapable of performing the tasks for which it is intended. Computer processor technology has developed rapidly and anything older than three years may not process large graphic, video or trial database files adequately.
• While you do not need to buy the latest software as soon as it hits the market, your software should be no more than two versions behind.
• Make sure you have adequate file storage space on your server, along with routine backup systems and controls in place to protect the integrity and confidential nature of the material.
• And one last note on systems – be sure to install those pesky software and application updates before trial.
Next week: We go to trial!
