  12. Litigation Support: Bridge Between IT and Lawyers • Early Interpretation of EDRM • IT Emphasis = Left Side • Legal Emphasis = Right Side • Emphasis Has Shifted Left for Everyone Involved • Identification • Preservation • Collection

  13. Identification When Litigation is Imminent... Identifying Relevant Data Sources AND Rule Out Non-relevant Data Sources Process Entails a Series of Interviews (IT Staff, Custodians, Legal Team, etc…) and Data Mapping End Goal is to Prepare a Defensible Collection Action Plan 16

  14. Preservation • Pension Committee v. Banc of America, 2010 WL 184312 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 15, 2010) • Failure to issue a written litigation hold; • Failure to ease routine deletion of e-mail; • Failure to collect ESI from key people; • Failure to collect ESI from retained files of ex-employees; and • Failure to preserve back-up tapes if only source of relevant information 17

  15. Litigation Hold: The Duty to Preserve • “A litigant has a duty to preserve evidence that it knows or should know is relevant to imminent or ongoing litigation.” US ex rel. Koch v. Koch Industries, Inc., 197 F.R.D. 463, 482 (N.D. Okla. 1998) • “Once a party reasonably anticipates litigation, it must suspend its routine document retention/destruction policy and put in place a ‘litigation hold’ to ensure the preservation of relevant documents.” Zubulake v. UBS Warburg LLC, 220 F.R.D. 212, 218 (S.D.N.Y. 2003) 18

  16. Preservation – What Not to Do • Pringle v. William Adams, Jr. et al., SACV10 - 1656 JST (C.D. Cal 2010) • Applicable in More and More Cases • Sanctions • Adverse Inference • Case Dismissal 19

  23. Predictive Coding Automated process that culls through electronic data and focuses on non-keyword attributes such as context or word frequency “Computer-assisted review is not a magic, Staples-Easy-Button solution appropriate for all cases.
