As document productions have ballooned in size, determining if a production is adequate has become increasingly difficult. The days of judges and magistrates turning a blind eye to bad discovery are over. So plaintiffs and defendants increasingly need to know if productions are adequate and defensible or instead are riddled with obvious data holes.

Modern eDiscovery software analytics can help. Production metadata and other reporting statistics can be mined and diced and sliced to show the consistency of produced documents over time, by email source and file type, from source and by key case issue. These top-level reports often quickly and accurately show if discovery is defensible or riddled with holes. This important early case analysis can make or break a case for plaintiff or defendant.

With hundreds of billions of emails exchanging hands daily, each with its own unique metadata, container folder and possible attachments to examine, special consideration must be given to email at every stage of eDiscovery. Litigators and paralegals must effectively review ESI (Electronically Stored Information) during production, and great care must be taken to avoid producing confidential information. This webinar offers practical steps for moving email through the eDiscovery process while uncovering key evidence and ensuring that privileged information is not inadvertently leaked.

Agenda

• Managing increasing email volumes
• What ‘delete’ really means
• Best practices for displaying and reviewing attachments
• Deciphering email headers
• Detecting ‘spoofing’
• Using culling and deduplication to eliminate unnecessary email
• Methods to ensure full searchability of email
• Understanding email time zones

Approaching mobile collection with conventional methods can result in run-away eDiscovery costs, lost data and the careless oversight of evidence. Traditional collection methods, including discovery orders, have not evolved to include the unique file structure and ESI channels that exist in mobile devices. Moreover, uncontrolled Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) practices almost ensure preservation and privacy nightmares unless deliberate steps are taken to appropriately manage ESI. This webinar highlights the various considerations attorneys must make as they strategize ESI collection from mobile devices.
