Archiving and eDiscovery in 2009

Barry Murphy — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:48:59 +0000

It’s hard to believe that the amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) took effect over 2 years ago. It’s hard to believe because so many organizations have still done very little to ensure they can meet the requirements set forth by these rules. But, I truly believe that 2009 will be the [...]

As Jobs Get Axed, Lawsuits Get Filed…Are You Prepared?

Bill Tolson — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:00:05 +0000

An interesting news story appeared in the Denver Post on December 26, 2008. It was a story about the expected rise in wrongful termination lawsuits as the economy worsens. From the Denver Post Article by Carol J. Williams:”But labor and employment lawyers warn that a tidal wave of wrongful-termination lawsuits is expected in the coming months [...]

New Retention and Classification Option

Bob Spurzem — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 22:46:43 +0000

I really like Mimosa’s NearPoint Retention and Classification Option (RCO) because it brings new value to email archiving without additional overhead. Using RCO, Admins can define business rules to automatically set retention periods and apply specific tags to content. These tags can drive multiple actions such as marking a piece of content as potentially responsive [...]

Using Outlook Web Features for Archiving

Bob Spurzem — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 22:19:12 +0000

One of my favorite features of Outlook is the ability to view web pages without leaving Outlook. The feature is called ‘folder home page’ and it has been supported in Outlook since Outlook 2000. Folder home page is especially useful for email archiving. By simply clicking an ‘archive folder’ in Outlook, users gain access to [...]

EDRM Announces XML Standard for eDiscovery

Bob Spurzem — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 19:27:33 +0000

On Dec 3, 2007, the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) group announced its new XML standard for eDiscovery of electronically stored information. [link: http://edrm.net/blog/archives/98] This new XML standard facilitates the transfer of electronic information (e.g. emails, files, databases) between eDiscovery stages, software and organizations. Without the XML standard, emails, files and other electronic information are [...]

Inaccessible ESI…Really?

Bill Tolson — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 22:00:11 +0000

Shortly after the new amendments to the FRCP were published, I was told by many GCs that finally backup tapes had been protected from the dreaded discovery request. When asked why they held this opinion they responded;”Rule 26(b)(2)(B) takes backup tapes off the table because they are cost and not easily restored and searched”. I would [...]

eDiscovery Still New For Legal Staff

Barry Murphy — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 03:48:58 +0000

I came across an article here recently where a Pittsburg lawyer comments that “E-discovery is one of the hottest areas in law. This isn’t something that is yet taught in law schools. Many firms are just now starting separate departments for e-discovery.” We’re a good three years into the eDiscovery “craze” and the fact is that [...]

Litigation Hold Also Applies to Corporate Websites

Bill Tolson — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 15:00:23 +0000

So what is discoverable and therefore subject to a litigation hold in federal civil litigation? The short answer is anything is potentially discoverable. What does this mean to potential targets of civil litigation for discovery? It means you must take into consideration all sources of potentially responsive data within your corporate infrastructure. In a recent case, Atteria [...]
