Pt 2 Building an E-Discovery Process for Success – All Star Panel
This was the first online CLE program I hosted with Pike & Fischer back in December of 2006, the predecessor to BNA’s Digital Discovery and e-Evidence publication. Given the fact there have been at least 80 shows since, it must have gone alright. I believe this was one of the first shows on the electronic discovery circuit which attacked the nuts and bolts of an electronic discovery project in the trenches.
Read MoreElectronic Discovery in Everyday Cases
In this podcast, we break down everyday cases where E-Discovery occurs, offer tips on saving money, how to figure out what the use of experts in a case will cost, tips on preserving evidence – even if you aren’t sure you will use ESI, litigation hold measures for smaller cases, the format in which to provide evidence to an attorney for review, advice for selection of a good EDD vendor for smaller cases, the pitfalls of using an internal IT department for E-Discovery tasks, the importance of working with opposing counsel in smaller cases to be more effective and really save money, and where most attorneys mess up smaller electronic discovery cases.

The format of this presentation was we looked at electronic discovery from David’s perspective: Not having many electronic records but looking at an onslaught of electronic records about to be dumped on them. Also some of the concerns with fairness from judges and their reaction to economic arguments from the defense side. We also talked to Goliath, the defense side of most cases. We asked their opinion on the various stages of an electronic discovery case understanding they were incurring significant costs right away in the case. As you can hear, David and Goliath did not agree on much.
Read MoreCan You Project Manage Electronic Discovery?
Listen to Cleveland, Ohio based E-Discovery consultant Brett Burney from Burney Consultants and Pittsburgh, Pennsylania based Karl Schieneman from JurInnov discuss project managing electronic discovery and cover material from a chapter in a book I wrote for PBI on “Project Managing E-Discovery?” It will be nice to step out from behind the desk a little bit on a podcast and Brett and I will be co-hosting this show or having a 2 way discussion on this topic which we both believe is critical to doing projects better and more cost effectively. Recently in May 2009, The Sedona Conference WG1 drafted a publication called “Achieving Quality” which provides an overview of some strategies which appear to offer promise to improve the quality of electronic discovery review projects. The publication begins with the importance of having a strong team leader for project management purposes.
Read MoreEvaluating Search and Retrieval Tools in Electronic Discovery
This show will generally discuss the different types of search tools that are out there and why they all operate differently. We will discuss some fairly granular issues which the unwary might not notice when relying on a search engine to find everything. Topics we will discuss include the differences between search engines, how search engines operate, the role stop words play within search engines, to what extent hiring search experts is required, strategies for deduplicating documents, how to store data in your search engine, wading through misspelled words, variants and synonyms, the issue of saving accurate time zone metadata in ESI, different quality control steps for review, how to evaluate different search engines, and where these two experts believe the field of search will be heading in the next few years.
