Setting the Stage

Complex litigation is getting more complex

Data doesn’t stay in a enterprise system (leaks are normal)

The enterprise walls are irrelevant today

Relevant information is on the Web, blogs, social media platforms, and mobile devices

More than 50% of Americans are now “social”

International data=multi-national problems

The prize goes to the best data sifters and the technical problem solvers


A Web 2.0 World


Practical Approach to Discovery

Create plan

Document process

Record process used

Identify technology tools

Test

Train

Monitor & Update


Running in Place

“The scope of discovery into social media sites requires the application of basic discovery principles in a novel context.”

Offenback case (M.D. Pa. June 22, 2011)
