    Federal Rule of Evidence 706 already provides for court-appointed experts which report to the court and the parties and for whom the costs are shared. But a battle of the parties' …

    Not a reach, it's called "unlicensed practice of law" and it's a crime.

    My recommendation: use xSearch for iOS! It's a Safari extension app so no need to use a nonstandard browser. I use it to give me custom !bang searches for various databases, but it…

    One of the features DocuSign charges a lot of money for is batch envelopes, like uploading a CSV to fill out fields and send to different recipients (basically Mail Merge). Is this…

    Just guessing, but I think people got so saturated with "Pro" and "Premium" that it started to leave that slimy feeling you get from "Luxury" and other pseudo-fancy marketing terms…

    A wonderful product ruined by a proprietary cloud. The problem with the latter was very promptly proven by the unilateral imposition of a subscription. The product is useless witho…

    Yes, you're thinking of recordings. This suit is brought under the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 503.001 et seq.) [0]. At issue is the a…

    xSearch for Safari is great for this on Mac and iOS. I've made a bunch of custom !bang search engines on top of those supported by DuckDuckGo. It really speeds up research on vario…
