To all:
Today, I just heard of the passing of Jim Keane, one of the true pioneers in the litigation technology area. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
In a way all of us want to be able to say that we made a difference. Jim did. From the first time in 1989 that I heard Jim present at a technology conference he inspired me by his writings and presentations. Over the years I was always amazed by his energy and enthusiasm for his work and life.
