Make the right choice
In order to properly respond to eDiscovery within the constraints of a modified FRCP, many key decisions that affect ESI collection and processing need to be made.
Processing of selection
Therefore, the collection's, even with the minimum amount of available information, it will be necessary to manage the process to control time and budget. You need to answer the following questions:
1. Who are the key people?
We need to identify the people who are important to the case. These major individuals, as well as executives, as well as assistants and other support from technology, accounting, sales, marketing, operations, and HR departments
2. Where are the files?
All potential locations of electronic evidence need to be identified. These include the home computer and all the computers that the key person uses elsewhere (note that it is important such as girlfriend or boyfriend ipod use such as MP3 You can also save important files of documents.
3. How can I dispose of the collection?
The limited number of files collected is a collection of only the selected keywords and conditions that contain only a specific date range, collected in a file. This can be done before or after the entire hard drive is collected forensically. Known file filtering can also reduce collection by deleting standard application files common to all computers
4. How do you handle password protected / encrypted files?
Encrypted files can not be processed until they are decrypted. Some instances encrypt files with passwords that have positive or similar names available. Provide value decryptions that also provide information about the file location. Decryption requires considerable time. In some cases, this is the first step, as you can easily get one just by asking for a password. If that fails, the use of subphases may be successful.
5. How do you need to handle duplicates and near duplicates?
Electronic File Collection Multiple individuals can have the same attachment and the same email. Several users may have reviewed important documents and saved them on the hard drive during the process. Electronic collection processing can identify the exact duplicate files and limit the number of documents that need review.
Identifying exact duplicates usually occurs when metadata is identified and extracted from the file. Collection duping delays processing to a minimum.
Standard duping identifies exact duplicate files and eliminates them. If something changes in the document, including formatting, such as font changes, it is no longer an exact duplicate and will not be deduplicated.
It is essential to agree on what is meant by both sides of the case า duping. & # 3635 and many electronic discovery systems, literally collecting from files etc to be deleted. Forensic tools used by law enforcement agencies, however, usually remove duplicates, but simply do not identify them for future use.
Discussing this definition during the pre-trial meeting to ensure that all aspects of the case use the same definition, each side will have later
The more important part of the collection is near the overlap. ํา It contains a file that has been significantly changed or contains only a part of the main document. Some projects have identified and reviewed duplicates that require the file's capacity , Is a group. The time and cost of this significant review is comparable to conventional linear.
Specific near duplicates need to be compared to each document for additional processing times that require other documents or advanced software applications. This technology makes the review category more consistent and reduces the likelihood of nearly duplicate documents identified as both privileged and non-privileged.
6. How is the collection
The new rules state that the parties meet and decide to receive electronic evidence. If the contract does not exist, the format will be า this is usually maintained ํา or า reasonably usable ํา format.
The choices the legal team has are converted to TIF or PDF, whether each side prefers to receive electronic evidence in native file format, and this often depends on the team's standard Litigation review system.
The system handles both natively converted and files, and associated metadata and full text. There are pros and cons of both options. Native files with extracted metadata reflect the exact original file, but they document with a unique identification code as they are processed
Converting native files to TIF or PDF is time consuming and the most expensive task of eDiscovery. Because 60 to 80 percent of the files in the collection may be unresponsive or irrelevant, both the time spent on conversion and the finances are non
The best compromise is to receive the file in native format, review it for relevance, and be widely produced for conversion to image format,
Managing a huge amount of electronic files for litigation requires a readiness plan for the search of production, organization and related documents, budgeting for cost and time every case presents a unique situation So there is no absolute correct answer to the above question. However, teams that understand the options and their impact are prepared to make informed decisions that will yield the best results for the case and organization.
