Discovery of Deleted & Other “Inaccessible” Data
Unlike paper documents, which were traditionally only available in hard copy, electronically stored information can exist in various virtual formats—even after it is deleted or discarded. These formats vary in levels of accessibility, making discovery of certain types of information more onerous than others. While deleted and other difficult to access data formats remain discoverable, recent case law and rules changes have made discovery of “inaccessible data” more complex for both sides—parties requesting it as well as parties seeking to resist its production and avert costs. Lawyers now need to understand where their clients' and opponents' data is stored, the factors that affect its accessibility, and how to effectively advocate on their clients' behalf in light of these considerations.
During this session we will explore issues such as:
• What factors affect data accessibility? • When may deleted and archival data be discoverable? • Which party bears the cost of producing "inaccessible" data? • What is data "downgrading" and is it sanctionable?
This seminar will be a live Internet broadcast.
