7 Steps in the E-Discovery Process
Present at
trial if your
case hasn’t
settled.
Judges have
little to no
patience
with lawyers
who appear
before them
not
understandi
ng e-
discovery
and the ESI
19. of their
clients or
the opposing
side.
7
Clawback
the ESI that
you
disclosed to
the
opposing
party that
you should
have
filtered out,
but didn’t.
Clawback is
not
unusual,
but you
have to
work at
getting
clawback
approved,
20. and the
court may
deny it.
6
Produce the
remaining
ESI, after
filtering out
what’s
irrelevant,
duplicated,
or
privileged.
Producing
ESI in native
format is
common.
5
Review and
analyze the
filtered ESI
for privilege
because
privileged
ESI is not
21. discoverabl
e, unless
some
exception
kicks in.
4
Process and
filter the
ESI to
remove the
excess and
duplicates.
You reduce
costs by
reducing
the volume
of ESI that
moves to
the next
stage in the
e-discovery
process.
3
Identify the
22. relevant
ESI,
preserve
any so it
cannot be
altered or
destroyed,
and collect
all ESI for
further
review.
2Create and
retain ESI
an
enforceable

IG IMPACT ON E-DISCOVERY
25
➢ Cost Reduction
➢ Risk Management
➢ Better Litigation win rates
➢ Strategic Planning for Matters
based on Merit
➢ Strategic Planning for Matters
based on Cost
➢ Litigation Budget Optimization
25. The Legal Hold Process….
26
How Should It Work?
ESI must be preserved in place and no longer edited or altered
so it
can be reviewed during discovery
How Does It Work?
Just the opposite of how it should! Employees quickly edit and
delete relevant e-documents that may implicate them
what is it?
Formal system of policies, processes, and controls to notify
key employees of civil lawsuits or potential suits, and the set
of documents that must be put on legal hold.
LEGAL HOLD NOTIFICATION
27
This is a very discreet IG project
26. Absolute minimum an organization should do to meet the legal
guidelines
Where to start?
KEY: Must not be outsourced!
Get over the perception that this is too expensive and too
difficult to
deploy
• Define the Requirements
• Define the Ideal Process
• Select the Technology
DEFENSIBLE DISPOSITION OF
INFORMATION
28
➢ Begin with legal hold management.
➢ Law requires a “reasonable effort”
➢ Prioritize what information to delete
➢ Don’t try to delete across the entire organization at
once
➢ Put systematic rules in place for deletion
27. ➢ Hint: Most companies begin with email
DESTRUCTIVE RETENTION
PROGRAM
29
An approach to e-mail archiving where e-mail messages are
retained for a limited time followed by the permanent
manual or automatic deletion of the messages from the
organizational network, so long as there is no litigation hold
or e-mail has not been declared a record.
SO…. How long is the retention period?
➢ Varies by Company.
➢ 25 % of companies delete after 90 days
➢ Heavily regulated industries archive for 1 year
➢ Traditionally 7 years but changing.
What Can I Do To Make E-
Discovery Easier?
28. 30
Apply newer technologies
• Can speed up the document review process
• Improve the ability to be responsive to discovery requests
Examples:
❑ Predictive Coding
❑ Technology Assisted Review
PREDICTIVE CODING
31
Used for document review-Teaches software what
to look for.
Software with the goal of reducing the total group
of documents that a legal team needs to review
manually by finding the gross set of documents that
are relevant or responsive to the case at hand –
reducing billable attorney hours and costs.
Technologies Involved?
29. • Machine Learning (AI)
• Workflow Software
• Text Analytics
• Keyword Searches
• Pattern Matching
• Sampling
• Filtering
LEGAL MILESTONES IN PREDICTIVE
CODING FOR E-DISCOVERY
Global Aerospace, Inc., et al. v. Landow Aviation, PL et al.
Consol. Case No. CL 61040, 2012 WL 1431215 (Va. Cir. Ct.
Apr.
23, 2012).
32
The first State Court Order approving the use of Predictive
Coding by the producing party, over the objection of the
requesting party, without prejudice to the requesting party
raising an issue with the Court as to the completeness or the
30. contents of the production, or the ongoing use of Predictive
Coding.
Basic argument favoring predictive coding was that
predictive coding is capable of locating upward of 75% of
the potentially relevant documents and can be effectively
implemented at a fraction of the cost and time of linear
review and keyword searches.
TECHNOLOGY-ASSISTED REVIEW
(Computer-Assisted Review)
33
• This is not the same thing as predictive coding!
• Includes aspects of nonlinear review – culling, clustering,
and de-duplication
• Does not meet the requirements of predictive coding
Mechanisms of TAR
• Rules Driven-Team creates a set of rules for document
review which is essentially a coding manual which are fed
31. into the software
• Facet Driven – Tool analyzes documents for potential
items of interest or groups potentially similar items
• Propagation Based – Propagating what is known based on
a sample set of data to the rest of the documents.
DEFENSIBLE DISPOSITION
34
Technology, policies, procedures and management controls
designed to ensure that records are created, managed, and
disposed of at the end of their life cycle.
Why do we need to do this?
➢ Big Data – huge growth of information
➢ Record and Information Management isn’t working well
➢ Volumes of information are adversely affecting effectiveness
DEFENSIBLE
DISPOSITION…continued
32. 35
➢ New Information Custodians---it’s a problem
➢ Users aren’t trained on records management principles and
have
no incentive to manage or dispose of records
➢ Use of proper technology to manage digital records properly
➢ Auto-classification and analytics
➢ Remember –You must defend your policy. It must be
defensible…not perfect
Select practical assessment/classification process
Develop/document essential aspects of the disposition program
Develop a mechanism to modify, alter or terminate components
when required
Assess content for eligibility for disposition
Test, validate and refine the efficacy of content assessment
Apply disposition methodology to content as necessary
Repeatedly, verify and document the efficacy and results
8 STEPS TO DEFENSIBLE
33. DISPOSITION
Define a reasonable diligence process
RECORD RETENTION
37
How to Increase Defensibility of Destroying Records?
✓ Authority to destroy records is identified on retention
schedule
✓ Retention requirements have been met
✓ Records are slated for destruction in normal course of
business
✓ There are no exiting legal or financial holds
✓ All records of the same type are treated consistently
and systematically
Retention Policy
38
➢ Meet the legal limitation period
➢ Conduct research in each jurisdiction (venue) where the
34. business
operates
➢ Maintain a records retention schedule
➢ Note: Retention schedules are developed for records series,
categories,
functions or systems and not for individual records, i.e.
Functional
Retention Schedule, or Master Retention Schedule
➢ Record Retention Schedules are kept for ALL records, not
just
electronic records
BENEFITS OF A RETENTION
SCHEDULE
Reduces Legal Risk and liability exposure
Supports legally defensible records management program
Improves IG thru uniformity and standardization
Improves search quality and reduces search time
Provides higher quality records information and decision
support
Prevents inadvertent, malicious or premature destruction of
35. records
Improves accountability for Life Cycle Management of records
Improves security of confidential records
Reduces and minimizes costs for maintaining records
Determines which records have historic value
Saves hardware utility and labor costs by deleting records after
their life span
Optimizes use of online storage and access resources

THE END
40
Scenario:
You have recently been hired as a Chief Information
Governance Officer (CIGO) at a large company (You may
choose your industry). This is a newly created position and
department within the organization that was founded on the
need to coordinate all areas of the business and to provide
governance of the information. You will need to hire for all
positions within your new department.
The company has been in business for more than 50 years and i n
this time has collected vast amounts of data. Much of this data
has been stored in hard copy format in filing cabinets at an
offsite location but in recent times, collected business data is in
36. electronic format stored in file shares. Customer data is being
stored in a relational database, but the lack of administration
has caused data integrity issues such as duplication. There are
currently no policies in place to address the handling of data,
business or customer. The company also desires to leverage the
marketing power of social media, but has no knowledge of the
types of policies or legal issues they would need to consider.
You will also need to propose relevant metrics that should be
collected to ensure that the information governance program is
effective.
The CEO and Board of Directors have tasked you to develop a
proposal (paper) that will give them the knowledge needed to
make informed decisions on an enterprise-wide Information
Governance program, addressing (at a minimum) all of these
issues, for the company.
Requirements:
The paper should include at a minimum of the following
sections:
a. Title page
b. Executive Summary (Abstract)
c. Body
i. Introduction (including industry discussion – 1-2 pages)
ii. Annotated Bibliography (2-3 pages)
iii. Literature review (2-3 pages)
iv. Program and technology recommendations, including:
1. Metrics
2. Data that matters to the executives in that industry, the roles
for those executives, and some methods for getting this data
into their hands.
3. Regulatory, security, and privacy compliance expectations
for your company
4. Email and social media strategy
5. Cloud Computing strategy
d. Conclusion
37. e. References
2. You must include at least two figures or tables. These must
be of your own creation. Do not copy from other sources.
3. Must cite at least 10 references and 5 must be from peer
reviewed scholarly journals (accessible from the UC Library).
4. This paper should be in proper APA format and avoid
plagiarism when paraphrasing content. It should be a minimum
of 8 pages in length (double-spaced), excluding the title page
and references.
Milestones:
· Week 3 – Introduction Section - A 2-3 page paper describing
the industry chosen and potential resources to be used. 100
pts.
· Week 5 - Develop a full annotated bibliography (3-4 pages)
and develop the literature review (3-4 pages). 200 pts.
· Week 7 - Completed final research paper (both milestones
combined together and include the last sections as discussed in
the list above). 300 pts.
Total: 600 pts
As outlined within this week's topic, there are several benefits
as well as challenges associated with the use of Big Data
Analytics in the e-Healthcare industry. Pick one of the four
concepts below and then identify the benefits and challenges
associated with that concept. Do not simply list the benefits and
challenges but detail them in a substantive, thorough post as it
relates to that concept in the e-healthcare industry.

· Storage and Integration
· Data Analysis
· Knowledge Discovery and Information Interpretation
38. Chapter Eight (8): Information Governance and Legal
Functions: According to the authors, Smallwood, Kahn, and
Murphy, IG is perhaps one of the functional areas that impact
legal functions most. Failure to meet them could be literally put
an organization out of business or land executives in prison.
Privacy, security, records management, information technology
(IT), and business management functions are very important.
However, the most significant aspect of all of these functions
relates to legality and regulatory compliance from a critical
perspective.
For this discussion, identify the industry you will be writing
(SOCIAL Media – Facebook) about in your final paper and
discuss the regulatory compliance requirements that the
company has to meet and the corresponding security, privacy,
and records management functions that would need to be
enabled for that organization.
