ESI Data Processing: Why Should Attorneys Care?




http://ow.ly/7eUfG

An article by Daryl Shetterly posted on the LeClair Ryan website the eDiscovery Myth.

This article discusses data processing and states that attorneys should undertand the how it effects the legal profession.

The author states, "regardless of which data processing tool you choose to use, there are a few concepts you should understand prior to giving your vendor or outside law firm the go-ahead to begin processing your data."


The article addresses several topics that pertain to data processing, such as: hidden text and content; embedded objects;  exception reports; de-duplication; z-print; and the parent-child relationship of emails and attached documents.

The author further states, "...data processing is a legal issue and not solely a technical one. As an attorney, if you blindly delegate these data processing decisions to your technical staff or vendor you may later wish you had done your homework first."
