Problems with Traditional "Paper" Discovery

Studies have shown that nearly 93% of all corporate communication is conducted electronically and upwards of 70% of that may never be printed. As early as 2006 the judiciary recognized that nearly every civil federal matter involved the discovery of e-mail and certainly with both the changes in the Federal rules of Civil Procedure to address Electronically Stored Information (ESI) and society's increased reliance upon technology, the likelihood that the evidence you seek to prove and defend your case on is likely going to be in electronic format.

Paper has some distinct disadvantages, including:

• Inability to search
• Hard to collect, categorize and analyze
• Expensive to work with
• Unless multiple copies are made, only one person can review or work with each document at a time

Problems with Traditional "E-Discovery" Processes

Too often e-discovery progresses down the usual "paper-based" discovery methods. The problem is, Electronic Evidence is not traditional paper and application of those existing solutions fall flat. As professionals within this area, Vestige often hears objections from clients and attorneys such as:

• E-discovery is too expensive
• Volume of data needing to be reviewed as a result of e-discovery is tremendous
• No additional value is gained by looking at the electronic evidence in a matter
• It is difficult to collect and preserve electronic evidence
• Electronic evidence is too complex and results in side issues that have nothing to do with the merits of the case at-hand

All of these observations are valid criticisms...If electronic evidence is handled incorrectly.
