Smartphones, collaboration apps, and social media platforms all store a plethora of relevant information and is where today’s most important evidence resides. By avoiding or mismanaging this evidence, lawyers miss out on critical insights. The big question however, is how and where do legal teams begin to incorporate modern data into investigations?
Throughout 2022, CloudNine Sr. Director Rick Clark, VP Rob Lekowski along with a panel of industry thought leaders will discuss the latest challenges in eDiscovery, cybersecurity, and information governance in a panel setting at The Master’s Conferences, in select cities (below). With the rising popularity and noticable increase of questions asked by conference attendees relating to managing modern data, the Conference added dedicated a panel on the subject titled “Telling The Full Story: Leveraging the Data Between the Documents.”
Summarizing the recurrent questions asked by conference participants along with the insights shared by panel speakers, the three biggest takeaways of these discussions include:
Modern data types can no longer be ignored – Emails and traditional documents are always going to be a part of discovery and investigations, but key data has moved away from these platforms. Conversations in Slack, MS Teams, device chat applications and text messages are additional communications needed to follow the conversation. Nowadays, modern data expands above communications into geolocation, social media posts, user activities and offer the largest insights. Recent case decisions have proven that judges are open to admitting modern data so long as the evidence is relevant and properly authenticated.
Data shouldn’t be treated like documents – One reason why legal teams avoid modern data is linear document review. Imaging and exporting modern data leads to issues like missing metadata, families, threads, and file types. This method also requires legal teams to review evidence without any threading, deduplication, or link-analysis tools. Instead, large volumes of data are analyzed document by document. Linear document review is tedious, inefficient, and time-consuming but most important is legal teams who use linear document review also run the risk of overlooking important details. By opting for link analysis, litigants can connect various data points together to find relevant information faster.
