Iowa Civil Rights Law Amended - 300 Days

Persons who want to file a civil rights complaint under Iowa law with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission will have 300 Days to file as of July 1st when a new law goes into effect expanding the filing deadline from the present 180 days [6 months] to the federal deferral timeline of 300 days. There is an exception for persons covered by Section 614.8 of the code [mentally ill and minors] who apparently have more time, since they have a year from certain events. This doesn't mean to wait for the whole 300 days, but it does provide more time for a person and/or his or her attorney to gather the facts and either decide not to file or to file a stronger case. Congratulations and a Big Thanks to the Executive Director of the ICRC, Ray Rosenberg, the Iowa Legislature, and the Governor, who signed it today.

Macs in Trial #2

A great seminar over two days is being held in Dallas, Macs in Trial #2, which [I hope] will become an annual event.  It's put together by lawyers on the MacLaw listserve, primarily Kern Lewis.  I couldn't attend due to a conflicting conference, but, fortunately, there's some blogging going on by Brett Burney [author of the eDiscoveryinfo blog on the blog-site of Blake Boyd, Trial Technologist's View.  I am really jealous!

I have clipped some information from this site - 43Folders - at times and thought I'd provide the link here, as it's helped me figure out which email program to use and how to cut down on the residue and also how to clean up the syncing process at .Mac.  I commend the site to you for linking or feeding.
