This document discusses the challenges of electronic discovery and legal preservation requirements for large corporations. It notes that most corporations have terabytes of backup data stored on tapes that is difficult and costly to search when legal requests come in. The solution proposed is an ActiveVault managed preservation archiving service. This service extracts data from backup tapes, deduplicates it, and stores it in a searchable archive. It aims to help corporations better understand legal risks, reduce eDiscovery costs, and ensure all relevant data is preserved if needed for future matters.

Legal Hold Workshop - ARMA International - Las Vegas - Oct 23, 2008John Jablonski
3 hour workshop on Legal Holds, presented at ARMA International\'s annual conference in Las Vegas on October 23, 2008. The program was highly rated by attendees, rated as 3rd out of 85 educational sessions.
The document discusses records management and e-discovery. It notes that effective records management involves knowing what records exist in various formats, including electronically stored information (ESI). Companies have a legal obligation to preserve relevant ESI when litigation is anticipated. They must implement litigation holds to prevent destruction of relevant records and identify custodians of records and systems where ESI is stored. The document advises preparing for Rule 26 meet-and-confer discussions about ESI disclosure by mapping data systems and identifying existing ESI. It stresses that litigation holds are required to meet the duty to preserve evidence.
E Discovery General E Discovery Presentationjvanacour
This document provides an overview of key concepts and best practices regarding electronic discovery (e-discovery). It discusses the duty to preserve relevant evidence once litigation is reasonably anticipated. It also outlines the stages of managing e-discovery, including having a reasonable document retention policy prior to notice, issuing a litigation hold once notice is received, and complying with discovery requests once litigation begins. The document emphasizes communicating preservation obligations, overseeing preservation efforts, and producing electronic documents and metadata in a usable format.
This document summarizes key topics in electronic discovery (e-discovery) including: the types of electronically stored information (ESI) that now exists; how e-discovery rules and case law have evolved to address ESI; common e-discovery issues like litigation holds, accessibility tiers, and sanctions; and ethical implications for attorneys regarding e-discovery competency and diligence. Recent cases demonstrate courts' increasing willingness to impose severe sanctions like adverse inferences, monetary penalties, default judgments, or case dismissal for failure to properly preserve ESI or comply with discovery orders.
Systems, Processes & Challenges in litigation involves determining when to implement a litigation hold to preserve relevant documents. A litigation hold is necessary when litigation is reasonably anticipated based on a filed lawsuit or subpoena. The duty to preserve evidence arises when litigation is anticipated. Once implemented, the litigation hold must be properly scoped, documented, communicated to relevant parties, and monitored for compliance. Automating the litigation hold process can help manage costs and ensure preservation duties are met.
Ensuring Your E-Discovery Procedures Comply With The New Rulesrlhicksjr
This document discusses ensuring that e-discovery procedures comply with new rules. It covers topics like preservation notices, meet and confer requirements, discovery strategies, protective orders, structuring protocols, and using experts. Preservation notices should follow Zubulake decisions as a benchmark for when the duty to preserve evidence arises. Meet and confer requirements involve early discussions between parties to avoid evidence spoliation. Common discovery strategies include interrogatories, document requests, and depositions. Protective orders may be needed to combat overly broad requests. Protocols should address issues like costs, data handling procedures, and confidentiality protections. Experts can help with tasks like computer forensics but selecting the right one is important.

Total Evidence Management (TEM) is an approach to efficiently manage both digital and physical evidence for complex litigation in the digital age. TEM combines all relevant evidence, including documents, emails, audio/video files, and metadata from various sources into a centralized electronic repository. This repository allows lawyers to preserve, process, review, analyze, organize and collaborate on evidence. By using TEM, lawyers can save clients time and money in the discovery process where most cases are won or lost, rather than during the courtroom trial.
This document discusses topics to cover in a pre-discovery conference, including the scope of discovery, search strategies, preservation of electronic documents, privilege issues, and cooperation between parties. An effective pre-discovery conference requires understanding the issues in the case, how clients store documents, and where relevant information can be found. It aims to narrow the scope of discovery and develop strategies for identifying, collecting, and reviewing electronic documents in a reasonable manner. Areas of disagreement should also be addressed.

Attorneys need to be aware of increasing amounts of electronic data and rising spoliation sanctions. They should implement document retention and legal hold policies to preserve relevant information for litigation. These policies should cover social media, emails, texts and other electronically stored information. They also need processes to identify trigger events requiring preservation, implement litigation holds, and collect electronic data while meeting discovery obligations. Failure to properly preserve electronic evidence can result in spoliation findings and sanctions against the responsible party.
Document Retention And Destruction Power Pointlnarvid
This document discusses the importance of implementing a thorough electronic records retention policy for companies. It outlines 7 key steps to ensure compliance with e-discovery rules and avoid sanctions, including: 1) understanding IT systems, 2) creating a detailed retention schedule and procedures, 3) instituting a litigation hold process, 4) training employees, 5) designating a records manager, 6) forming a retention committee, and 7) preserving former employees' hard drives. Failure to follow these steps could result in massive monetary penalties or adverse inferences, as shown in several court cases discussed in the document.
Every lawyer needs eDiscovery. Do you do it right?
Learn how to navigate dramatically increasing amounts of electronic data in this free Clio webinar.
How does your firm handle eDiscovery? In litigation and government investigations, eDiscovery is the process by which information is exchanged electronically—and it’s becoming more and more common.
Unlike traditional information stored in paper form, electronic information is much more pervasive, long-lasting, and transient. During a discovery disclosure, you will get mountains of data that needs to be sorted and analyzed. In this webinar, we’ll talk about the principles of eDiscovery and how your can ensure that your practice can properly preserve and sort information efficiently.
Join Nextpoint CEO Rakesh Madhava and Clio’s own Joshua Lenon as we walk you through:
- the basics of eDiscovery
- which tools your firm should use to acquire and preserve information
- how to quickly find the nuggets of data your case needs
- how to integrate eDiscovery better into your practice
Even with the growing importance of eDiscovery, most law firms still aren’t prepared to handle large amounts of digital information. Make sure that yours isn’t one of them.
The document discusses several topics related to e-Discovery:
1) Document retention policies are important for companies to establish in order to efficiently manage electronic discovery requests if litigation occurs. These policies help reduce unnecessary data and ensure ethical data deletion practices.
2) Electronic discovery, or e-Discovery, refers to the discovery process for electronically stored information in civil lawsuits. It presents unique challenges compared to paper documents due to issues like metadata and data volume.
3) The federal rules of civil procedure have been amended to address e-Discovery procedures and obligations regarding items like initial disclosures, discovery scope, and electronically stored information. Legal holds are also discussed as an important part of the e-Discovery process.
KMWorld - June 2015 - Why KM in the Cloud May Be Right for YouAlan Brooks
Deploying knowledge management (KM) in the cloud may have several benefits for organizations. It can help remove silos by allowing easy knowledge sharing across departments no matter location or device. Cloud KM also simplifies integration with other cloud systems and enables knowledge networks between organizations. Some financial benefits include faster time to value since access to cloud systems begins at implementation, reduced infrastructure costs since the provider handles maintenance and upgrades, and responsive capacity for seasonal volume changes. Cloud KM also provides access to experts who can help organizations maximize the cloud system's capabilities.

The Objective
Enable corporations to gain control over reactive electronic evidence production
and review costs.
The Goals
• Plan legal strategies based on real knowledge of situation.
• Reduce the cost of initial and subsequent legal discovery productions.
• Enable elimination of historical backup tapes used for data archiving.
• Enable retention policy implementation (destruction).
The Problem
Most large corporations have thousands of backup tapes containing billions
of pages of e-mail messages including attachments and user file information
(“Unstructured Data”). To date there has been no way to economically extract, de-
duplicate, store and give the corporation access to this information.
Because of the contention between retention policies and the real-world practicality
that email and user files are typically archived on backup tape for disaster recovery
purposes, most large organizations have more than 3 trillion pages of data archived
on backup tape. Much of this data contains duplicates of the same user file or
email. This situation leaves an organization vulnerable when faced with initial and
subsequent discovery requests.
Corporations are being confronted by government agencies with low tolerance for
production delays and liberal civil discovery laws, leaving their legal departments
to question:
• Has relevant data been properly preserved?
• What is the time, difficulty and cost to recover and retrieve relevant data?
• What level of business disruption will there be preserving and recovering data?
• How can irrelevant and privileged data be sorted out prior to legal review?
• How can truly relevant data be identified?
• How can the same preserved data be leveraged across multiple matters?
• How can costs be managed to avoid escalating costs for future requests?
Case law is rapidly developing that shows the potential danger for companies who
fail to properly preserve and produce responsive electronic documents. Judge Shira
Scheindlin of the Southern District of New York has handed down five opinions in
the matter of Zubulake v. UBS Warburg, an employment discrimination case.
Zubulake I – Judge Scheindlin addressed Zubulake’s claim that relevant emails
had been deleted from UBS’s active servers and existed only on optical disks and
“inaccessible” backup tapes. Judge Scheindlin ordered UBS to produce all respon-
sive e-mails from optical disk and on active servers and to bear the cost of restoring
a sample of five backup tapes selected by Zubulake.1

4. ActiveVault™ Managed Preservation Archiving Service4
Zubulake III – Judge Scheindlin ordered UBS to bear 75% of the restoration
cost of sixteen backup tapes after Zubulake demonstrated that UBS had failed to
maintain all relevant emails in its active files (optical disks).2
Zubulake IV – Zubulake moved for sanctions after learning during the restoration
of sixteen backup tapes from Zubulake III that UBS failed to preserve all relevant
backup tapes. Judge Scheindlin found fault in UBS’s document preservation strate-
gy but lacked evidence that the lost tapes were particularly favorable to Zubulake.
Judge Scheindlin ordered UBS to pay for the re-deposition of several key UBS
employees.3 Zubulake IV affirms that a party must take reasonable steps to
suspend its routine document retention by putting a “litigation hold” in place when
the party reasonably anticipates litigation. In addition, Zubulake IV established
responsibilities for legal counsel to monitor the preservation process.4
These responsibilities include:
• That all relevant information and its sources must be identified;
• That relevant information is retained on a continuing basis;
• That relevant non-privileged material is produced to the opposing party in
response to proper discovery demands.5
Zubulake V – Zubulake moved to sanction UBS for failure to produce relevant
information. In her findings, Judge Scheindlin concluded that UBS acted willful-
ly in destroying relevant information and failing to follow the instructions of
counsel.6 Zubulake V provides instructions for in-house counsel to follow as a
means of demonstrating their “continuous efforts” to preserve and avoid spolia-
tion.
These responsibilities include:
• Issuing a litigation hold;
• Communicating directly with key players in the litigation and clearly communi-
cate their preservation responsibilities;
• Instructing all employees to produce electronic copies of relevant active files;
• Ensuring all required backup media is identified and stored in a safe place.
Only one day after Zubulake V was released, the U.S. District Court for the
District of Columbia issued similar sanctions in United States of America v. Philip
Morris USA Inc. U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler noted that tobacco giant
Philip Morris had failed to retain e-mail messages despite an October 1999 court
order and the company’s own electronic discovery retention policy. Executives
in research, marketing, corporate affairs and public affairs were found to have
destroyed electronic records and intentionally failed to comply with preservation
and retention policies. Philip Morris was fined $3,000,000 for their preservation
failures.

Electronic discovery and preservation best practice recommendations, from both
the ABA and the Sedona Principles (http://www.thesedonaconference.org) are
attempting to provide opinions that may sway courts to more reasonable rulings in
regards to these issues. However, the effects of these efforts are not measurable at
this point in time. Potentially the proposed new Federal Discovery rules may help
ease some of the challenges of electronic discovery, but most likely will create as
many “gray” areas as solutions. The proposed new discovery rules will not take
effect until Dec. 1, 2006 or later.
The Solution
RenewData proposes these corporations migrate from a reactive to proactive
approach to preservation archiving. As opposed to IT data archiving solutions, a
preservation archive is uniquely designed to track the forensic information about
Unstructured Data. Traditional IT storage and email archiving solutions are typical-
ly searchable in order to locate a specific email. However, these solutions lack
the forensic information to demonstrate what folder the email had been stored in,
which email server originated the email and the specific source media. Lacking this
information may create an opening for the opposition to question if the “original”
email is being produced.
In order to implement preservation archiving, RenewData has combined its proven
electronic evidence production expertise with its high volume tape extraction
capability and created the ActiveVault™ Managed Preservation Archiving
Service. The ActiveVault Managed Preservation Archiving Service provides
economical, large volume off-site electronic evidence preservation and record
archiving for legal matters.
RenewData’s non-invasive approach works off of the corporation’s existing
backup tapes, requiring no software installation in the corporate environment.
The ActiveVault technology is a scalable enterprise solution for storing, accessing
and producing Unstructured Data. The key to scalability is ActiveVault’s single-
instance storage model. Single-instance storage is a system’s ability to keep one
copy of content associated with multiple custodians.

6. ActiveVault™ Managed Preservation Archiving Service6
The ActiveVault Managed Preservation Archiving Service provides:
Using a proactive evidence preservation approach, the company will have the tools
to assess the company’s legal exposure early in the litigation process or even before
litigation begins, creating three possible outcomes:
1. A “smoking gun” e-mail or user file is found. The company is guilty – bad
news. The good news is that the position is known early. The strategy is typically to
settle as soon as possible. The company saves on outside legal costs, executive time
and very likely, on settlement costs.
2. A “white knight” e-mail or user file is found that completely exonerates the
corporation. The evidence can be presented to the other side (perhaps a plaintiff
attorney on 100% contingency), resulting in termination of the case. The savings are
obvious.
3. No information is found that proves/disproves innocence. The company can at
least know that it can execute a legal strategy without fear of any negative repercus-
sions resulting from future electronic evidence productions.
The Benefits
ActiveVault stores electronic information for easy access, quick assessment of legal
exposure and better preparation for initial and subsequent discovery requests. The
result of a company’s Unstructured Data being readily available enables:
• Control of litigation costs with the ability to plan strategies based on real knowledge
of their situation.
• Significantly reduced timeframes to produce initial and subsequent production
requests as pre-processed and indexed native file data is available for immediate
search and output.
• Cull electronic evidence to the minimum sub-set, reducing costs from review tool
loading thru legal review.
• Protect the company from any risk of fines for evidence spoliation.
• Enable the implementation of retention policy by elimination of archive backup
tapes.
ActiveVault Managed Preservation Archiving Service allows a company to:
• Avoid business disruption as a result of discovery requests.
• Avoid IT disruption by using a service instead of installing and maintaining a in-
house system.
• Eliminate premiums based on time, volume and complexity charged for electronic
evidence productions.
• Access to the responsive Unstructured Data when the company’s legal team needs it.

Rationale of Archiving Weekly vs. Daily Backup Data
When restoring email from daily backup tapes, all email not created and deleted
within a 24-hour period will be recovered. When restoring email from weekly
backup tapes, all email not created and deleted within a 7-day period will be
recovered. From a logical viewpoint, while it is likely that someone who wants
to hide a particular email message created on Monday may delete such a message
on Friday, what most commonly occurs is that person will delete the sent message
immediately from their sent mail items on the same day it is sent. People typically
don’t worry about deleting email messages until after they have been notified to
stop doing so due to a preservation order. RenewData’s estimates the amount of
data lost between daily and weekly backup restores is less than 1%. If desired,
RenewData can provide an accurate assessment of the amount of data lost between
daily and weekly backup restores specific to a company’s data with a test project.
A Hybrid Approach
The best approach to creating the preservation archive might be a hybrid approach.
Backup tapes that are currently preserved for existing or pending litigation can be
added to the preservation archive and “tagged” as belonging to a specific matter.
These tapes may include daily backups. Email communication stored for SEC 17a-
4 requirements on WORM storage can also be added to the archive. For all other
time periods, the weekly backup tapes are sufficient to create a viable, accurate
archive.
