    Tech support complete. Basically accessing sensitive docs sent by a law firm.

    Without giving too much away ol’ boy is giving a medico legal opinion on a poor young lady who has been through the wars. Family suing a doc (not the ol’ boy thankfully) completely unrelated to underlying issues.

    Anyway this is discovery shit… defendants’ (the doc.) file is a GB or a 1400 pg pdf, extremely detailed entire history (which is a lot, down to everything done intra-daily). Plaintiffs’ bringing 240KB lol (shouldn’t laugh but the discrepancy is absurd).

    When these guys retire or semi-retire, some of them are hit up by either the defendant or plaintiff’s lawyers depending on their history of siding with whoever. Some sell themselves to the highest bidder, others do it because it’s right, others to protect their colleagues, some pro-bono or a combination.

    Sounds awful but it do be that way. And this shit drags on like you wouldn’t believe (and naturally it’s the lawyers that win).

    In any case, moral of the story is record everything.
