As organizations create increasing amounts of digital data, electronic discovery costs for lawyers can skyrocket. For firms with limited technology budgets, or cases with small amounts of electronically stored information, e-discovery can be challenging. “Electronic Discovery for Small Cases” offers effective, budget-friendly solutions for collecting, viewing and analyzing electronic evidence that will benefit any litigator, says a representative of the American Bar Association.
With an overview of e-discovery techniques and extensive reviews of software products, this book aims to help attorneys: Determine if they should collect ESI themselves or hire a consultant; select the best and most user-friendly collection tool for their budget; make the most of their e-discovery software with step-by-step guidance; process, view, search and analyze a mixed collection of files; learn about affordable cloud-based applications for litigation support; publish a searchable document collection on a CD, DVD or Flash drive; work with electronic records at mediation, arbitration or trial; and learn about emerging ESI trends.
The book was co-written by Bruce Olson, president of ONLAW Trial Technologies, in Appleton, Wis., and Tom O’Connor, a nationally known consultant, speaker and writer in the area of computerized litigation support systems.
