I appreciate what EPIQ is trying to do with this post, and we really should all be much more wary of how much we use our personal phones to conduct business, because in the eDiscovery world, that may mean someone coming and collecting everything from it, but this advice seems just, well, so quaint. “Always…
I think the rise of ephemeral, or temporary, messaging, is fascinating, and I also think that many in the legal field are completely overthinking this. Take, for example the article below, where Pavan raises what he considers to be the “risks: Risks of Ephemeral messaging Preservation and spoliation of evidence:Â Information that is within the…
I’m a big fan of email threading technology, especially one that can identify the endpoints of email threads. Why look at every single email when it takes 15 emails for a small group of coworkers to plan lunch, for example, when you can just look at the end of the thread, scroll through the previous…
The other statistics in this article point out what kind of impact those two facts above have on the bottom line, but I’m going to take issue with the importance they are given in this article. Don’t just make changes in your workplace culture because it’s better for the bottom line, do it because it’s the right thing to do for the human beings who work for you. They aren’t lines on a spreadsheet, they are people, with lives outside of work, who you have an opportunity to support.

After all, you can either do what you can to help, and keep them with you, or lose them when they realize that the job that does nothing but cause additional stress, with no support, isn’t worth their mental health.
Monica makes a compelling case for more organizations to bring their eDiscovery work in house. Despite my place in an outside firm, I actually agree with much of what she has to say. “Monica Enand: It all comes down to three components: control, security and cost. First, having a system that the entire legal team…
