you would think that in this age where digitalization and electronic-everything supposedly streamlines our lives and improves the way we do things, that something called "e-discovery" would be a boone to lawfirms in terms of saving economic resources ... but apparently not ...
From The Surging Evolution of E-Discovery
"Electronic discovery -- or e-discovery -- has become much more complicated than simply pulling deleted e-mail messages off a hard drive. With the retrieval of electronic information sometimes exceeding six figures in large-scale litigation costs, motions, subpoenas and orders for e-discovery can push clients into settling to avoid the crippling cost of compliance, defense attorneys say."
but never fear ... where there are "six figures" involved inevitably some enterprising law firms will swoop into the niche to gobble up the excess ... behold, the E-DISCOVERY FIRM!!!
you figure there's got to be way to make it more cost-efficient with the introduction of e-discovery ... and I, as a survivor of the dreaded hard-copy 'document review', applaud any such efforts
