Electronic Discovery
Definition:
Electronic discovery, also called e-discovery, refers to the process of using, locating, securing or searching electronic data to use it as evidence in a civil or criminal case. Electronic discovery can be done offline on a computer or through a specific network. Another type of e-discovery occurs as court-ordered hacking for obtaining critical evidence.Consequences of Electronic Discovery:
With electronic discovery, data of all types can be used as evidence, including all text, calendar files, databases, images, spreadsheets, audio, animation, websites, programs and spyware. One valuable source of evidence is electronic mail, also known as e-mail, because people often use less discretion when they exchange e-mail messages as opposed to written memos and letters sent by air mail. Paying close attention to technical and legal details of e-discovery is important to the outcome of your case.What a Lawyer can do for you:
