http://ow.ly/lhlYX

An article by William F. Hamilton appearing on the insidecounsel.com website.

The article provides discussion around 5 topics, which are said to be unofficial rules to the future of best practices for discovery:

1. ESI is the solution, not the problem. 
2. ESI is compelling evidence. 
3. Seek the important information. 
4. Start every case with an e-discovery budget. 
5. Sample everything.
