Episode 20 — Grasp e-discovery essentials every technologist and counsel needs
Electronic discovery, or e-discovery, is the process by which organizations must identify, preserve, and produce digital evidence in response to a legal or regulatory request. This episode introduces the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) and the various stages of the litigation lifecycle. For the GLEG exam, understanding the "duty to preserve" and when the "litigation trigger" is pulled is a fundamental requirement. In practice, successful e-discovery requires a close partnership between the technologists who manage the data and the counsel who manages the legal strategy. A frequent pitfall is failing to identify all "custodians" of relevant data, leading to incomplete productions and potential sanctions from the court. By grasping these essentials, you ensure that your organization can respond to legal mandates with professional speed, technical accuracy, and legal defensibility.
