Train Staff with Legal People CDs
Legal people is a CD-ROM-based training system for legal support staff that combines computer-based technology and proven teaching methodologies, says the namesake company, based in Jackson, Miss.
The first release is a three-hour "Introduction to the Law Office," consisting of 24 video lessons that review the basics of the American legal system, legal terminology, law office culture and ethics, it says. Level II, "Essential Law Office Procedures," addresses telephone and e-mail etiquette, calendaring, legal filing, correspondence, time-and-billing, and document production. Future modules will tackle specific practice areas.
The set is available on CD-ROMs, (plans are in the works for Internet access next year), and Legal People can be customized to specific law firms, departments, or government agencies.

Finjan Debuts First-Strike Kit
Finjan Software Inc. has introduced its new First-Strike Security program and released a new version of its SurfinShield Corporate PC security software.
The SurfinShield software now protects instant messaging users from "Trojan Horse" virus attacks, and also includes personal surveillance protection to defend against hackers who attempt to use PC microphones or cameras as spying devices, reports the San Jose company.
First-strike security tools offer proactive protection from new malicious code attacks that "sandbox" Web content and executable files, monitor code behavior, and instantly block programs that violate security policies, it says. The program is compatible with AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Tribal Voice PowWow and Microsoft MSN Messenger, it says.
The surveillance protection prevents programs such as BackOrifice or Netbus from turning on a computer's microphone or camera, and recording what a user is saying or doing on their computers.
