Fortunately, the evolution of the eDiscovery process itself has generated solutions in the form of:
- enriched technological innovation improving and refining identification and collection of case-related data,
- assessing data and sorting it by relevance, and
- for integration into litigation strategy.
Applying the eDiscovery Method
eDiscovery is by now an essential component of most business and much criminal litigation. Its fundamental strategic elements are:
- documentation of the relevance of discovered materials to the case at hand,
- preservation of materials for presentation in court, and
- communication of the discovery to the appropriate counsel.
eDiscovery software is increasingly plentiful, but doesn’t operate in a vacuum. Skilled practitioners are required to ensure that your litigation strategy brings the desired results. It may be that your firm has an in-house eDiscovery expert, but if not, find an outside vendor. With such a vast quantity of data to analyze, unqualified documentation and evaluation of the evidence will only make you seem unprepared in the courtroom.
