eDiscovery Trends - EDD Malpractice is more widespread than we think

http://www.ediscoverydaily.com/2011/07/ediscovery-trends-is-ediscovery-malpractice-more-widespread-than-you-think.html

An article by Doug Austin posted on the eDiscoveryDaily.com Blog.  The article discusses malpractice by attorneys during the eDiscovery process of litigation. The article also refers to an article by Dennis Kiker, Esq. of LeClair Ryan, which was also posted on SRM Legal's blog several days ago regarding this important topic.

Warning....don't play part time eDiscovery expert.  Use your firm's internal litigation support resources to assist your efforts, and if something is beyond the scope of what your firm (or corporate law department) can handle, seek help from outside experts, and established service providers.  Don't try and tackle issues that are beyond your legal expertise....it is far less expensive to pay an eDiscovery services provider to assist your efforts, than to pay sanctions for doing things wrong.
