Article by Jason Krause appearing on law.com on Law Technology News.
The article points out that budget cuts to government agencies will have an adverse impact on their ability to handle eDiscovery issues. As the article states, "A 2010 survey by IE Discovery found more than 40% of government attorneys who are involved in EDD battles say that their EDD burden grew in the past year. Because of budgetary and other constraints, 70% of EDD projects are handled in-house; fewer than 20% are outsourced. "The theory is that government employees have more muscle than the opposition," says Chris May, CEO of IE Discovery. "But I think a lot of times, people perceive resources that just aren't there.""
This will be an issue that will provide an increasing challenge to governmental entities as the volumes of ESI they will receive continue to increase.
