Babs Deacon, Cynthia Bateman, Joanne Lane, Ellen Kuplic, Emily Cobb and Alison Grounds share their insight and opinions about three “myths”:
- Myth #1: The only way to conduct e-discovery successfully is to let your outside counsel handle the entire process.
- Myth #2: (a) Full forensic collection of drives should always be done and (b) clients/custodian self-collection is always bad.
- Myth #3: An organization without a high litigation profile doesn’t need to implement a litigation readiness program or have preferred discovery support vendor relationships in place.
As expected, the conclusion is that there are rarely black & white answers to any of these. But the discussion and debate shared over each topic provided good arguments on both sides of the issues, at least helping to uncover factors that should be considered when making these decisions.
