eDiscovery Daily Is Sixty Six! (Months Old, That Is)
Let’s get our kicks on Route 66! Sixty six months ago yesterday, eDiscovery Daily was launched. It’s hard to believe that it has been 5 1/2 years since our first three posts debuted on our first day, September 20, 2010. Now, we’re up to 1,375 lifetime posts, and so much has happened in the industry that we’ve covered. And, yes, we’re still crazy after all these years for committing to a daily post each business day, but maybe we’re crazy like a fox!
Twice a year, we like to take a look back at some of the important stories and topics during that time. So, here are just a few of the posts over the last six months you may have missed. Enjoy!
- If you fail to implement a litigation hold, can you count on being sanctioned? Not necessarily.
- Europe’s Highest Court may have struck down a 15 year old Safe Harbor Agreement, but it didn’t take long for a new “shield” to be proposed as a replacement.
- What do Daegis, Credence Corporation, Elysium Digital and Huron Legal all have in common? They were all acquired last year.
- According to a recent Gartner report, by 2018, at least 30% of the data reviewed in eDiscovery will be stored in the cloud.
- Did you commemorate National Love Your Lawyer Day? We did.
- If you found a flash drive somewhere, would you plug it in to your workstation to see what’s on it? You shouldn’t.
- In Texas, a “reasonably usable” production format isn’t good enough if the ESI can be produced in native or near native format.
- Since our last six month update, the new Federal Rules changes went into effect. On “E-Discovery Day”, no less.
- You know what can happen when people post pictures of their employee badges on social media? Hacker access into their employer’s facilities.
- If you haven’t noticed, the age of eDiscovery automation is upon us (at least, in my opinion).
- We’re starting to see cases where contract attorneys are suing for overtime pay. Here are two of them.
- We covered 72 unique cases last year with eDiscovery case law rulings. Here is our recap.
- Just because you received a $21.5 million judgment in your favor doesn’t mean that judgment can’t be vacated if you’ve been found to have spoliated emails.
- Speaking of vacating, after applying adverse inference sanctions against the plaintiff for failing to preserve text messages, the court vacated that ruling after the new Rule 37(e) came into effect.
- Another year, another LTNY thought leader interview series (our sixth!). You’re welcome.
