An IT Perspective of E-Discovery

This presentation was given on Tuesday, August 14th to the Great Lakes Business Recovery Group.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently amended the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to deal with the issue of electronic discovery. Although these new rules do not drastically change your existing obligations, they do put into place specific requirements related to the discovery of electronic evidence, such as e-mail, IM, as well as the myriad of other documents you produce on a daily basis.

Doug Lindhout, a partner with the technology consulting firm C/D/H, presented the IT perspective of the impact of these new regulations and provided the template of a plan you can use to prepare your business for an adequate response to an electronic discovery requirement.
