Authenticating Your eDiscovery Web Resources



http://ow.ly/8wyPq

An article by Greg Buckles posted on the eDiscovery Journal website.

This article provides guidance regarding the use of website sources that provide news related to eDiscovery.  The author warns, "There are some fantastic blogs and sites out there. So whenever you stumble onto a new site, look beyond the clever domain name to read the About page. If you cannot easily understand who is behind the site and how it is funded, that should raise a red flag. Just as you need to be able to authenticate ESI produced in discovery, you should be able to authenticate the sources of your eDiscovery news and opinion."

Mr. Buckles provides information regarding certain specific sites, and compares the information on the "About" page, thus revealing information regarding the perspective of the website's authors.  Is the author a provider for a specific service?  Does the website accept ads from certain technology providers that it might recommend?

P.S.  Joe Bartolo of this blog has compiled a detailed list of website resources regarding eDiscovery, which will be distributed as part of the handout materials offered to attendees of the "Mock Meet and Confer" CLE event to be held in Charlotte tomorrow, January 18th.  The event involves Judges Grimm, Facciola, and Peck, as well as several well know eDiscovery experts.  Please look for the website reference list to be posted on this blog later this week, subsequent to the CLE in Charlotte.
