Process of the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM)
– Information governance: Information governance (IG) is an important step in a successful e-discovery, which refers to capturing and storing electronically stored information (ESI) properly
– Identification: Identification refers to the process to determine what ESI is relevant. The e-discovery team uses different methods to identify potential ESI, including case facts, interviews with key persons and data environment.
– Preservation: After identifying relevant ESI, it is important to keep it from “spoliation”, which means the tempering or destruction of evidence. One of the most common way to preserve evidence is through a legal hold. In other words, it “freezes” information and prevent anyone from deleting or destroying the evidence.
– Collection: Once the evidence is preserved with a legal hold, the teams use legally defensible methods to gather that information. It is a must that the key attributes of evidence is not altered and remain authentic.
– Processing: This stage refers to processing the collected evidence for attorney analysis and review. This “clean up” usually involves deleting irrelevant and meaningless data, extracting files, and converting file format.
– Review: This is perhaps the most important and also most expensive stage in EDRM. After the relevant ESI is collected and processed, it has to be reviewed by legal teams to understand how it relates to the case and benefits the client.
– Analysis: This stage involves evaluating the ESI for content and context, including key patterns, topics, people and discussion.
– Production: This stage refers to producing evidence that is usable during legal proceedings.
– Presentation: Once the evidence is produced, it has to be presented in a legal proceeding. Presentation of the evidence has also shifted from paper to a digital presentation.
