Discover the process of e-discovery and put good practices in
place.
Electronic information involved in a lawsuit requires a
completely different process for management and archiving than
paper information. With the recent change to Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure making all lawsuits subject to e-discovery as soon as
they are filed, it is more important than ever to make sure that
good e-discovery practices are in place.
e-Discovery For Dummies is an ideal beginner resource for
anyone looking to understand the rules and implications of
e-discovery policy and procedures. This helpful guide introduces
you to all the most important information for incorporating legal,
technical, and judicial issues when dealing with the e-discovery
process. You’ll learn the various risks and best practices for a
company that is facing litigation and you’ll see how to develop an
e-discovery strategy if a company does not already have one in
place.
