eDiscovery hit the legal field like no other practice before it. Much has been written, much has been debated and even more has been fought in battle. More often than not, eDiscovery becomes a war zone. Changes, disputes, lack of standards in definitions, differences in review, collection and processing, new rules of procedure, and technology has escalated costs. Over one million lawyers, paralegals and IT professionals have not been formally taught eDiscovery. This book is written to address that need. It covers frequent areas of concern and strategies for solving some of those problems. Just a few contributing legal icons: Anne Kershaw; Herb Roitblat, Ph.D.; Patrick Oot; Tom O'Connor; Douglass Mitchell; Joe Thorpe; Ron Friedmann; Daniel Garrie; among others.
