As e-discovery continues to make its way into the daily routine of practicing law, it is always beneficial for us to go back to the basics. Electronically stored information (ESI) is everywhere around us; we cannot escape it, but we must know how to handle it. Throughout the e-discovery process, there are many phases that we must go through to get to the final stage. Let us take a look at each step in the process.
Identification
The first phase is data identification. During this phase, the client and attorney work together to determine what documents, e-mails or other information need to be preserved. It is imperative that the attorneys involve the client’s IT department/provider in this discussion. These folks will be able to share where and how information is stored on the client’s systems.
