Today almost all information is digital, 99% by some estimates. This has made electronic discovery, better known as eDiscovery, a critical element of litigation, as it enables the collection, storage, and preservation of electronically stored information (ESI). As the ubiquity of our digital landscape has made eDiscovery almost unavoidable, it also poses challenges as the continuously rising amounts of data increase its time and cost. Today, legal teams must dig across continually increasing message files and collaboration platforms, in addition to traditional email communication, while balancing the ethical obligations of eDiscovery. As understanding the process of eDiscovery and its nuances has become indispensable, this webinar serves as a critical resource for attorneys navigating this evolving field.

In this webinar, our expert panelists begin by defining electronically stored information and eDiscovery, clarifying the data that is and is not accessible during eDiscovery. They continue by outlining the process of eDiscovery and introducing some of the challenges that can arise during its process. The panelists go on to review the ethical obligations legal teams must follow with eDiscovery and describe the consequences that can result when violating these obligations as well as outline several recent and relevant cases. Finally, the panelists discuss the advantages that Artificial Intelligence has offered during eDiscovery through systems like TAR 1.0 and TAR 2.0 and evaluate how the process is continuing to evolve today.
