California litigators, what methods have you come up with for easy compliance with CCP 2031.280(a)? It’s fine with a relatively contained document production and limited number of requests. But when there are thousands of responsive documents to dozens of overlapping RFPs, with some documents responsive to more than one request, it quickly turns into a huge pain in the ass.

Senior Counsel 1 - Have you actually tried arguing that the new statute is silent as to what to do when a document is responsive to multiple requests? I feel like a reasonable interpretation would be to require you to state each request the document is responsive to, instead of interpreting it as not knowing what to do if your document is responsive to more than one request.

Make an index on a separate sheet, one column with the RFP numbers and the second with the responsive pages. I don’t think there’s a way to make it not be a pain. This is the best way I’ve figured out to do it so far....Interested in other ideas!!

Yeah, that’s the method I use for smaller productions. Curious to see if anyone has figured out a less labor-intensive method for larger productions.

Largely depends on how I requested docs from client.... if so, I’ll compile the docs pursuant to my first request to client as exhibit a and so on and so forth. If I have any doubt that exhibit C can be responsive to the disc request I’ll just refer to exhibit a and c .

As everyone knows rents right now are super low. My current apartment in other units is going for about 30% less than what I'm paying. I've been in the same unit for 3 years but can't justify paying as much as I am. I also don't want to move. Anyone think I can drop the rent by 30% I've never been able to get that low. But we've never had a situation like this.

I need some advice. I have had two interviews with a company for a financial analyst role. It’s a private company with one owner. SaaS.

To be clear there are BD managers and practice managers I work with on the pitches so I'm not doing every single thing.

I just received a good offer to move from ID to PI. The only thing is the firms main offices are in other cities in my state.

This is obviously super accommodating. My question is what do you think about me working by myself? A great way to avoid toxic office BS or kind of lonely? WWYD?
