An article by Sofia Adrogué and Caroline Baker published by the Texas Lawyer and posted on law.com on the LTN webpage.
This article discusses the current state of the eDiscovery industry in the U.S.
The article states, "E-discovery is a $20 billion industry that is growing exponentially. It has become a staple of American civil litigation -- the most expensive and time-consuming part of pretrial practice.
Given the volume of emails alone (more than 3 billion U.S. business emails daily); that 90 percent of all documents generated are electronic; and that a single hard drive has a storage equivalency of 40 million pages, e-discovery is the proverbial "Pandora's box" that Judge Lee H. Rosenthal of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas so aptly described in her summer 2010 article inThe Advocate . Rosenthal chronicled the state of affairs: "Is e-discovery working? Yes (most cases); In every case? No; Systemic Failure? No; Perception of a larger failure? Yes (to some extent). . . .""
The article examines specific topics related to eDiscovery, such as: metadata; international issues; cooperation; and ethical considerations.
