As our longtime friend and colleague Monica Bay retires from ALM, it seems timely to revisit legal technology issues that she and I addressed together over the past 13 years. We met on September 11, 2011, when we volunteered to leave our safe, midtown New York office and walk 2.4 miles south. Our story and photographs appeared the next day on ALM's publications across the U.S.

From that day forward, disaster preparation and recovery was a constant agenda in LTN's coverage. Since 2001, the technology and the law have advanced, but with perhaps a surprising consequence. Has cloud computing made data disaster recovery obsolete?
