Must see eDiscovery articles for the week of November 3:
Connecting Information Governance and eDiscovery Principles and Defensible Disposition and the Convergence of IG, Compliance and eDiscovery an Exterro double-header by Andrew Bartholomew and Jim FitzGerald. More and more, I believe that we need to “re-brand” eDiscovery, IG, big data, etc. as “legal data management” to represent the converging principles, processes and best practices under the larger umbrella of holistic information management and control. In these two articles from Exterro, Bartholomew walks us through the synergy between eDiscovery and IG and FitzGerald brings record management to the conversation.
New Metrics Reveal Dichotomy in eDiscovery Market - Technology Reduces the Number of Data Custodians, While Big Data Drives up Overall Case Data Volumes by Kroll Ontrack. While we may have an understanding of our own organization’s discovery statistics (hopefully), we don’t often get a broader look at the market. Kroll’s high-level information regarding how technology is affecting matters is a fascinating peek into eDiscovery and what is “normal” at this moment in time.

In Venture Corp., the Court implicitly affirms the importance of the meet and confer and discovery agreements as well as explicitly focusing on the fundamentals of production.
