Case Law Summaries or When Things Don’t Quite Workout the Way You Planned
As Litigation Support Professionals, sometimes it helps to have a story about what happens when e-discovery best practices are not followed. It helps us to understand the end result of the work we are typically involved in earlier in the lifecycle of a matter. The ESI processing (or conversion) that we are managing today will become next week’s document review database and later a production deliverable. The decisions about the form of production are often made by the attorneys well before we get involved in the matter and it has been my experience that many of the discovery disputes or mishaps could have been avoided had a Litigation Support Professional been engaged earlier in the litigation matter. But that’s a discussion for another post on another day… Earlier this week, someone asked me for a list of cases or case examples that present teachable moments regarding sanctions, preservation & collection, document productions, etc. I thought it would be useful to list a few of the websites that offer a neutral summary of recent cases as examples of what not to do in e-discovery. (I wish someone would start a site that shares case examples of when things go well…..)
- E-Lessons Learned
- K&L Gates – Electronic Discovery Law
- Arkfeld’s E-Law Exchange
- e-Discovery Team
- Quarles & Brady’s E-Discovery Bytes
- Post Process Blog EDD Bibliography
There are many other sites that provide case law summaries, these are just a few.
