Wave Software, a division of Wave Technologies, recognizes that change is not always easy and that their user could be someone from either the world of paper or technology. The new rules no longer allow for broad sweeping Discovery requests and place Electronically Stored Information (ESI) on equal footing with paper documents. See Rule 34. There is now a duty to disclose ESI and to 'meet and confer' as early in the discovery process as possible to determine the agreed form of production. See Rule 26. What if there is no simple agreement? What if you have someone from the world of paper meeting the world of technology? If there is a disagreement regarding the manner in which production is to be made and how to handle the inadvertent production of privileged ESI, for example, it is imperative that counsel be educated on what this means. If parties are unable to reach an agreement or the court does not enter an order, the information would have to be produced in a form that it is 'ordinarily maintained' or in a form(s) that are 'reasonably usable'. See 26(f) The Standing Committee report says that if the information is kept in a way that is 'searchable by electronic means', then 'the information should not be produced in a form that removes or significantly degrades this feature.' In comes the terminology of 'native review', 'metadata', 'spoliation', 'preservation orders', etc.

So, what do you do if you are in a situation where you get a Request for Production of emails? Where do you even begin? How are you supposed to review the emails? Determine what is privileged? How would you produce in Native Format? What if you just want to print them out? How much is this going to cost me? These are just a sampling of questions we at Wave Software address on a daily basis and we have calmed our clients by showing them how we can make both the world of paper and the world of technology happy. It doesn't have to be difficult and it doesn't have to cost a lot of money.
