The Apple Mac OS for desktops and laptops and iOS for portable devices such as the iPad were once relegated to the sidelines in corporate America and often is overlooked or ignored in eDiscovery and litigation. Most companies’ large and small support Apple computer usage by their employees and derived digital evidence is common.
This checklist offers practical advice on how trial lawyers can obtain the evidence they need to successfully build their case and effectively advocate for their client.
As the size of document collections continue to explode, finding the evidence needle in the electronically stored information (ESI) haystack is more challenging than ever. Understanding the latest tools, indexing techniques, and features associated with eDiscovery search will allow you to conduct a highly effective review while still delivering your production on time.
Decisions made early in the collection, processing and review of your data will have ramifications that carry through the remainder of your case. Accordingly, making informed choices is critical to achieving timeline, evidentiary and budget goals. This webinar will highlight these pivotal decisions and provide you with best practices that will help you avoid unintended consequences and dramatically improve your eDiscovery results.
Vast volumes of digital evidence continue to grow as more devices and digital channels of communication generate electronically stored information. The resulting growth of precise and objective probative evidence has dramatically impacted the legal landscape and requires that lawyers be equipped with the knowledge of how to handle these dynamic data sets in order to succeed in complex litigation.
The Lexbe Uber Index combines comprehensive native file text extraction, OCR text extraction, metadata extraction, foreign language translated characters and dynamic real-time updating into a single concatenated index to deliver the fastest, most comprehensive eDiscovery search index in the industry.
A single attorney was recently able to load 2 Terabytes worth of data (millions of pages), perform a privilege review across the entire document set and export a production within 2 weeks, start to finish, in our platform. This solo-practitioner leverages the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of the Lexbe platform to compete against better funded and fully staffed opposing counsel.
Erin Derby, Certified eDiscovery Specialist (CEDS), and a member of the Lexbe technical services team was recently published in Paralegal Today. Her article, Finding the Needle in a Data Haystack, featured Erin’s expertise on advanced search methodology and offers techniques on culling data, constructing quality search queries, uncovering personally identifiable information (PII) and provides instruction on how to keep records of search processes.
Time is of the essence once the duty to preserve electronically stored information (ESI) arises. Failure to preserve can lead to loss of evidence, increased costs, and even sanctions. Unfortunately, lack of technical expertise and improper planning can have disastrous consequences, including spoliation claims.
How your eDiscovery platform parses and organizes your electronically stored evidence can be the difference between finding or missing that smoking gun. Or worse, unwittingly handing a smoking gun to opposing counsel. Pulling back the curtain on how an eDiscovery platform ingests electronically stored documents and makes the text within documents searchable reveals hidden places where evidence may be hiding.
Legal finance plays an increasingly common role in high-stakes commercial litigation. No longer merely a tool of necessity for cash-strapped claimants, financing is used by sophisticated lawyers and their clients as a more efficient way to manage the cost and risk of both plaintiff and defense matters while also unlocking working capital for the firm or business.
File sharing services, such as DropBox, have become increasingly used as eDiscovery repositories for incoming data and outgoing productions. With easy sharing, via a simple URL link, it’s understandable why these tools appear to offer an optimal solution for sending and receiving massive amounts of data as one does with eDiscovery litigation.
The 12th annual Law Department Operations (LDO) survey found that effective use of technology in law departments has been slow to accelerate. Artificial intelligence has been wildly growing among several markets, but is just beginning to saturate the legal market–however, it is expected to continue.
The ABA LTRC has a resource chart available to members and non-members that compares major eDiscovery providers on the market as a resource for attorneys. The detailed categories include general description, product/license pricing with target market firm size, software compatibility, presentation features, OS compatibility, searching/language support and technical support.
Plaintiffs face unique challenges when conducting discovery. A central difference is asynchronous data; plaintiffs must focus on accessing often complex document collections in the hands of defendants and third parties. More data to review and more complicated data types increasingly can overwhelm how attorneys traditionally have requested and reviewed productions and marshaled evidence.

The proliferation of ESI sources requires an approach that expands beyond email. Understanding the IT profile of the custodian and utilizing a data map is instrumental in identifying the key sources of ESI. The growth in apps, collaboration platforms, cloud storage and the Internet of Things (IoT) devices has resulted in the exponential growth in quantity and complexity of ESI sources.
Increasingly, non-email communications make up critical evidence in modern litigation. Text messaging and social media are used regularly by case participants and witnesses in addition to traditional email. Companies are supporting instant messaging and other collaborative applications in addition to email for internal communications.
