Article by David Degnan published in the Minnesota Journal of Law, Science & Technology. 2011;12(1):151-190.
This is an extremely comprehensive article, that quotes many sources, and provides a detailed analysis regarding the costs of processing electronically stored information. This article also addresses the costs for the attorney review phase of discovery that takes place in conjunction with the processed data.
The article discusses real life examples, and studies conducted that attempted to analyze the costs connected to the eDiscovery aspect of litigation.
There are several tables included in the study, all of which shed different light on a specific aspect of the EDRM. Attached below are the tables, and the article provides great detail associated with each of these tables.
The article provides the following conclusion, "Technology has a major impact on our lives today. If individuals use technology on a daily basis, counsel must learn how to work with electronic material and understand the cost of doing so. However, until we remove the fear and mystery of calculating costs, we cannot fully understand the price of ediscovery or the implications of such sanctions received by counsel who did not represent their clients competently"
