Getting Smart About Analyzing Electronically Stored Information Image

Getting Smart About Analyzing Electronically Stored Information

Eric Rosenberg

Not long ago, the pain of analyzing electronically stored information (ESI) for legal e-discovery, regulatory inquiries, and corporate investigations was hardly a blip on the radar screen. Fast forward to 2007, where e-discovery and its concomitant analysis has become a major component of any discovery request. This article takes a step back to evaluate whether efforts to streamline the analysis of ESI data have been effectively applied. My sense is that although the times have changed and methods of communication (Blackberrys, instant messaging, etc.) have become unquestionably more sophisticated, the e-discovery process has stagnated. The legal industry as a whole has been slow to keep up with change. As a result, it's getting harder to justify the cost and time that goes into the antiquated process many have grown accustomed to using.

How to Get the Most Out of Legal Blogs

Nerino J. Petro, Jr.

However you wish to refer to them, blogs provide a singular opportunity for a firm to leverage its unique knowledge in a format that's easily updatable and which can be targeted to specific market audiences. If a firm has a number of practice areas, it can maintain separate blogs to target each of these areas and not be faced with trying to write content that will appeal to every client or potential client that the firm is trying to reach.
