We often fear what we do not understand, and lawyers are not exempt from this theory. E-discovery is still one of those items often dreaded by law firms … and sometimes for good reason. There is a dark cloud of mystery around e-discovery and at times it is hard to see through it. Some questions that often arise include: How is e-discovery supposed to be used? What are the real benefits? Why can’t we go around it?
When e-discovery first appeared, it was perceived as a mysterious thing that computer/technical people created. Actually, that is only partially true. As soon as the ability to store electronic data became available, e-discovery began to play an integral role in legal matters. In my daily work, I often find that the mystery surrounding e-discovery is still prevalent in many of today’s law firms.
