Electronic Discovery and Home Computers


Electronic Discovery and Home Computers

Listen to Karl Schieneman, Director of Analytics and Review with JurInnov, talk about how important or irrelevant metadata is with Keith Altman, a plaintiff attorney who is often in a position of trying to build out pieces of a case without going on a fishing expedition. Home computers are filled with lots of interesting ESI about custodians but they also raise unique privacy issues. This should be a lively discussion.
