VSB Informational Videos Debut The first five of a planned series of infor-mational videos about the work of the Virginia State Bar are available on YouTube. The videos discuss the Clients’ Protection Fund, Fee Dispute Resolution, the Senior Citizens Handbook , the So You’re 18 handbook, and the Virginia Lawyer Referral Service. The videos were created as part of a project initiated by VSB President Sharon D. Nelson. Nelson noted that, “More people prefer to receive informa-tion via videos today. By making sure key VSB information is available to our members and the public, we help fulfill our regulatory, educational, and accessi-bility missions.” The videos were written by the VSB Publications Department, approved by the Special Committee on Communications, and produced in the studios of the Virginia Information Technologies Agency. They are intended to provide information about the bar and its services to the public and to our members. The next set of five videos is in development. Enterprise Content and Records Management (ECRM) Project Implementation of the bar’s new ECRM system is proceeding on schedule as old and current disciplinary case files from the clerk’s office are being scanned. The ECRM vendor, IQ Group, has had addi-tional design sessions with intake, bar counsel, and the clerk’s office about the logic on how documents are to be stored in the new system. Future plans include training the professional regulation, membership, and MCLE staff on scan-ning, storing and retrieval of documents. IQ Group also is planning additional design sessions with bar counsel to deal with evidentiary issues. The completion date for the ECRM project is scheduled for July 2015. At this point the system will have been imple-mented for the VSB’s regulatory func-tions, professional regulation, membership, MCLE, and the ancillary support systems, including administra-tion, human resources, and accounting.
