5 Examples of Using eDiscovery To Find Evidence



http://ow.ly/aWEjs

An article by  David Kaufer posted on the Teris Sophisticated Litigation Support Blog.

This article provides 5 examples of specific litigation matters that involved some form of eDiscovery to locate relevant evidence.

The article provides narrative discussion of the following 5 cases, each of which had different issues that pertain to eDiscovery:

1. Oracle America v. Google
2. State of Oregon v. Urbina
3. Danny Lynn Electrical v. Veolia Es Solid Waste
4. Northington v. H & M International
5. United States v. Briggs
The article states, "Ediscovery is not just about finding supporting evidence which is used to prove or disprove a case; the electronic discovery process can also reveal if evidence has been destroyed or is missing. Sometimes the lack of evidence is just as elemental in winning a case as the evidence itself. The magic of ediscovery is that it addresses both sides of the evidence coin, while case histories are simultaneously building new guidelines regarding the responsibilities of companies to maintain proper electronic records."
