Must see articles for the week of January 26;
Mold Case Sidetracked by Fight Over eDiscovery by Deborah Elkins. This is my favorite article of the week because it reflects the impact of eDiscovery on your “average” plaintiff as opposed to corporate America. The public eDiscovery story is typically one of large law firms and publicly traded clients. Federico v. Lincoln Military Housing LLC (VLW015-3-001) shows how challenging discovery can be with individual clients. The Court responds to the failure of plaintiff’s counsel to adequately produce social media including Facebook posts and texts as well as e-mails from a personal account.

What Cyber-security can learn from eDiscovery History by Adam Cohen. The impact of ESI on organizations continues to expand and intensify. With the recent rash of cyber-security issues, corporations have a new hill to climb focused on data privacy, hacking threats and system security. Cohen advises that organizations take a lead from early eDiscovery sanctions and develop a proactive information structure that addresses the spectrum of data-related challenges from risk management, compliance, litigation readiness, eDiscovery and security. At its heart, Cohen’s comments trace the historical shift from pure responsiveness (eDiscovery) to preparedness (IG, big data, ERM).
Information Governance: Not a Product, Not a Technology, Not a Market by Cheryl McKinnon. I love McKinnon’s description of IG as well as her word choice characterizing IG as a sustainable and “evergreen” business strategy. The post continues to outline business objectives fulfilled by IG as well as how to develop institutional IG models via an “outside-in” perspective.
