Get the Goods on Using Technology in the Courtroom

The Center for Advocacy and Dispute Resolution will host a presentation by Bill Ramsey in conjunction with LogicForce Consulting, LLC on the use of technology in the courtroom Wednesday, Feb. 13, from 12:20 until- 1:10 p.m. in Room 237.

The Center welcomes two experts on the topic of the use of technology in the courtroom, one a lawyer with more than two decades of experience trying cases with the use of technology and the other an expert on information technology with almost two decades of experience assisting law firms in case presentation.

William T. "Bill" Ramsey is a 1981 graduate of the College of Law. He finished first in his class, despite his passion for rock and roll and his other career as a rock and roll musician. After graduation, Ramsey clerked for the Honorable Harry Phillips of the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals and then joined the premier Nashville law firm of Neal & Harwell. Bill has extensive legal experience ranging from federal white collar prosecutions and investigations, high-profile bank, healthcare, securities, tax and mail and wire fraud cases, personal injury, business torts, computer and technology litigation and complex commercial transactions. In addition, Bill is a frequent lecturer on the topic of the use of technology in the practice of law, litigation involving computers and technology, and the impact of the internet on the practice of law. He is a self-proclaimed techno-geek who keeps the rest of the Tennessee Bar abreast of technology advances in his annual seminars.

Philip Hampton is the founder and president of LogicForce consulting, LLC. Phil has visited the law school on one previous occasion when he previewed a number of litigation support systems. For over 18 years, Phil has worked in the field of information technology, consulting with numerous law firms and government agencies in the areas of practice management systems, technical litigation support, computer forensics, electronic data discovery, and trial presentation technologies. As a computer forensic specialist, Phil has provided forensic services to attorneys on a wide variety of cases and frequently works with Bill and the Neal & Harwell firm. The Center invites all students interested in litigation technology to attend this exciting demonstration.
