It is a fact of modern life that an enormous volume of information is created, exchanged, and stored electronically. ESI aka Electronically Stored Information, is commonplace in our personal lives, in the operation of businesses, public entities, and private organizations.

Recovering a particular email, a deleted memo, or the date and time a web page was printed can be critical to a legal matter. More often then not, discovering when, how, and who created the digital information can be equally important and perhaps the smoking gun. In other instances finding hidden or deleted financial information on a computer is the key to a strong case.

The purpose of the IAALS publication is to provide a snapshot of the practical effects of the new e-discovery rules one and a half years after their enactment. The publication attempts to survey the sometimes competing views on the degree to which e-discovery presents problems in the day-to-day worlds of individuals and organizations (including small and mid-size businesses—generally those with fewer than 500 employees, large corporations, non-profit entities, and government offices).
