An article by Evan Koblentz appearing on law.com on the LTN webpage.
This article discusses the DOJ and a protocol they have put forth regarding eDiscovery obligations.
The article states, "The government's Joint Electronic Technology Working Group, led by the Department of Justice, began developing a best practices guide for e-discovery in the fall of 2009. The 21-page document includes principles, specific recommendations, strategy tips, and a case checklist. It was revealed at a federal software summit in Washington on Feb. 10. Circulation began last week.
All of the department's 6,000 federal prosecutors will receive training based on the new document. The document will also be used by U.S. Attorneys, investigative agencies, judges, and various law enforcement divisions, explained Andrew Goldsmith, national criminal e-discovery coordinator." A link to the protocol document is provided in the article.
The article further states, "The division is also figuring out how to use commercial e-discovery software, typically designed for civil matters, in its criminal cases. "There's nothing being written for criminal prosecutions and that's an issue. We're trying to get a round peg into a square hole," Goldsmith's assistant coordinator John Haried said at the recent conference..." A link to information about the referenced conference is included in the article.
