An attorney asks...

Q. I have to produce documents to the Federal Trade Commission. My client has quite a few electronic documents. What format do I have to use to in order to produce them to the government?

A. As part of the FTC Bureau of Competition's ongoing effort to improve their quality and efficiency they are announcing the implementation of guidelines. This represents the first outcome of the Best Practices Review which provides extensive and useful information. According to the FTC these policies are intended to accommodate two purposes: (1) to expedite the process of gathering useful and focused information; and (2) to reduce burdens on the parties that have received second requests.

Summation Tip of the Month

I've used my Form Editor to create a really great form. How can I use this same form in other cases without having to re-create the form?

There may be an occasion where you have an existing database and you want to use the form you created in a new case. The forms cannot be separated from the database and moved individually, but the structure of the database, which contains the form, can be moved without the data. There is a basic method for doing this. Cloning is a method that can be used regardless of whether or not the source case contains any data.
