Litigation Support Subcontractor for Primes
Search this and the first page is CACI and Lockheed Martin announcing prime awards, plus law firms explaining how teaming goes wrong. Nobody is writing for the prime who needs a sub. Primes do not subcontract litigation support because they want to. They subcontract it because a solicitation asks for a capability they do not […]

AI Chat Logs Discovery: What Courts Have Held
Four decisions in nine months, and they do not agree. One court found a defendant’s AI conversations unprotected; three have found work product protection, and one of those quashed a subpoena to OpenAI outright. Whether a party’s own conversations with a generative AI tool are discoverable is now a live question with actual decisions behind […]
Certificate of Accuracy Translation: What It Must Say
No federal rule tells you what a translator’s certificate has to contain for a court filing. One federal regulation does tell you — for a different kind of filing entirely — and that gap is where most certificates go wrong. A certificate of accuracy is the instrument that makes a translated document usable. It is […]
Government Document Digitization at Scale
800,000 pages, one month ahead of schedule, 28 percent under budget. That sentence is the whole pitch, and it is why this page leads with it instead of a scanner specification. Government document digitization is bought on two things: whether the indexing will be right, and whether the schedule will hold. Image quality is table […]

Vaughn Index Support for Agency Counsel
Search this term and you get two things: the Justice Department’s own guidance, and job postings for FOIA analysts. No vendor is offering it, which is strange, because at volume it is a structured data problem. A Vaughn index is the document-by-document justification an agency files when it defends withholding in FOIA litigation. The name […]
Administrative Record Preparation for APA Cases
An APA challenge is not an eDiscovery case. There is usually no party discovery at all. What there is instead is a record that has to be assembled, numbered, redacted, indexed and certified — and vendors who sell it as eDiscovery give themselves away. Federal agency litigation has surged, and a great deal of it […]
