Electronic Discovery in 2018: Current Challenges and Helpful Resources

Abstract

Back in 2011-2012, the author wrote a four-part series of articles on electronic discovery (e-discovery), specifically as it related to bankruptcy, for NABTalk: The Journal of the National Association of Bankruptcy Trustees.1-4 Since then, it has been exciting to watch the field of e-discovery evolve over the past decade, particularly from the vantage point of the author's role as a faculty member who teaches a full-semester online course on e-discovery every year. This article will summarize some of the recent developments in e-discovery, highlight some of the current challenges and feature some of the resources and technologies that are available to provide guidance and support for an e-discovery process.
