In the business world, the use of mobile devices such as smartphones, cell phones and tablet devices is proliferating. This presents enormous challenges for attorneys who oversee electronic discovery (e-discovery) for organizations.
Once, organizations involved in civil litigation could argue that it was too difficult to collect this type of information during discovery, and therefore, they did not have to worry about acquisition, review, processing and production. Today though, litigants should not expect to be able to claim this much longer. There is simply too much potentially relevant information being generated and stored on mobile devices. Those in the law enforcement area have been successfully extracting and capturing mobile device data for several years, making it difficult for those involved with civil litigation to claim that it's impossible for them to do the same.
