Proportionality is a major issue in electronic data discovery cases. But do we have the tools to make proportionality a reality? Last year, Law Technology News‘ e-discovery columnist Craig Ball wrote a fascinating article, “E-Discovery for Everybody.” It has become better known as the “EDna Challenge” because in it, Ball posited a solo practitioner named Edna with an e-discovery budget of $1,000 and asked how she could possibly perform any e-discovery on that amount. Ball received a wide-ranging number of answers from a variety of consultants and vendors and he compiled them in an insightful article on his website.
