Given the pervasive nature of electronic
documents across communication channels
whether in private or corporate circles,
the legal resolution of disputed matters
has taken on the added complexity of
sifting through mountains of digital
documents.
These are not
documents that are located in file
cabinets in paper form for easy
retrieval, they are usually located in
the deep recess of a computer digital
storage media.
Document Management
The attendant
cost of retrieving these documents has
often lead the Courts and litigants to
examine possible areas of compromise
with respect to agreeing on what needs
to be discovered. This is not merely a
legal Judgement call. It requires
technical input from the on set
especially where there are court imposed
time lines and request for discoveries.
How do you identify
and secure privileged documents amongst
the millions of documents located on a
file server and the email and database
servers. What is the best strategy for
recommending and implementing a
litigation ?
I CD Rom holds approx.. 55,000 pages.
1 DVD holds approx. 411,250 Pages
15GB Hard drive holds approx.
1,250,000 pages
What is the process
of arriving at a common ground for
relevant document mapping and
responsive data search? How do you
compute extraction time
lines? file restore formats and decide
on the best form of Court
room presentation of discovered digital
materials ?
When
evidence is restored in the wrong
format, it can irretrievably destroy its
probative value. For example the mere
conversion of a digital document to a
.tiff file format, will destroy the meta
data of that piece of document. In a
case that deals with the alteration of
digital documents or relies on a
document time line, such file conversion
will render the discovered document
useless.
Discovered electronic data needs to be
properly managed and stored for easy and
secured retrieval. The necessary
protocol and mechanism for proper work
flow with respect to digital data access
should be proactively addressed. |
