Example of a
Typical Lawsuit • Harassment or Discrimination Suit – He said/she said situation – P’s attorney must prove ABC – P’s attorney will want to see XYZ • Breach of Construction Contract – Which side didn’t do what they were supposed to do – P’s attorney must prove ABC – P’s attorney will want to see XYZ CONFIDENTIAL © 2010 Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

8.
Anatomy of a
Lawsuit • Complaint (or Charge) is Filed • Answer is Filed • Written Discovery Begins – Even in arbitration • The Duty to Retain ESI – “Litigation Hold” – Failure to preserve may be gross and/or reckless negligence with stiff penalties CONFIDENTIAL © 2010 Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

9.
Request for Production
of Documents • Plaintiff will want to see everyone’s – Computers (both work and home) – Cell phones (both work and home) – Emails (both work and home) • Defendants may have to provide access – Not overly broad request – Tailored to issues in dispute CONFIDENTIAL © 2010 Barnes & Thornburg LLP.

The information on this page is intended for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
10.
Must Turn Over
Some Things Before Request for Documents is Made “A party must, without awaiting a discovery request, provide to the other parties …a copy – or a description by category and location – of all documents, electronically stored information, and tangible things that the disclosing party has in its possession, custody, or control and may use to support its claims or defenses.” (Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A)(ii)) CONFIDENTIAL © 2010 Barnes & Thornburg LLP. All Rights Reserved.

The information on this page is intended for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
11.
What ESI Must
Be Produced “Any designated documents or electronically stored information – including writings, drawings, graphs, charts, photographs, sound recordings, images, and other data or data compilations – stored in any medium from which information can be obtained either directly or, if necessary, after translation by the responding party into a reasonable useable form.” (Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(a)(1)(a)) CONFIDENTIAL © 2010 Barnes & Thornburg LLP. All Rights Reserved. This page, and all information on it, is confidential, proprietary and the property of Barnes & Thornburg LLP, which may not be disseminated or disclosed to any person or entity other than the intended recipient(s), and may not be reproduced, in any form, without the express written consent of the author or presenter. The information on this page is intended for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
12.
How Must ESI
Be Produced • If no specification, a party must produce it in a form or forms in which it is ordinarily maintained or in a reasonably usable form or forms; and • A party need not produce the same electronically stored information in more than one form.” (Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(E)(i)-(iii)) CONFIDENTIAL © 2010 Barnes & Thornburg LLP. All Rights Reserved. This page, and all information on it, is confidential, proprietary and the property of Barnes & Thornburg LLP, which may not be disseminated or disclosed to any person or entity other than the intended recipient(s), and may not be reproduced, in any form, without the express written consent of the author or presenter. The information on this page is intended for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
13.
What About Mirror
Images of Hard Drives • Forensic duplicate • Parties negotiate search protocol • Computers made available to expert • Expert will release a report to the parties’ counsel regarding the finding of its inspection CONFIDENTIAL © 2010 Barnes & Thornburg LLP. All Rights Reserved. This page, and all information on it, is confidential, proprietary and the property of Barnes & Thornburg LLP, which may not be disseminated or disclosed to any person or entity other than the intended recipient(s), and may not be reproduced, in any form, without the express written consent of the author or presenter. The information on this page is intended for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
14.
Can Opposing Side
Copy an Entire Hard Drive • Defendants sought relief from order to inspect through forensic imagining the entire hard drive of work and home computers of 50 key custodians. • Discovering party was not specific enough why mirror imagining was required. • “Mere skepticism that an opposing party has not produced all relevant information is not sufficient to warrant drastic electronic discovery measures.” • That wide of net assured confidential information unrelated to the litigation would be exposed.

The information on this page is intended for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
15.
Slight Modification for
Ohio Courts • Parties can mandate the form that ESI is produced Example: The party propounding discovery seeking electronically stored information could request that a party’s internal memorandums on a particular subject be produced in Word format, while financial records be provided in an Excel spreadsheet format or other commonly used format for financial information.

The information on this page is intended for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
16.
What About ESI
From Non-Parties • Not if it imposes undue burden or expense. • The person from whom ESI is sought must show that the information is not reasonably accessible because of undue burden or expense. • Court may still order production of ESI if the requesting party shows good cause. • The court may specify the format, extent, timing, allocation of expenses, and other conditions for ESI.

This page, and all information on it, is confidential, proprietary and the property of Barnes & Thornburg LLP, which may not be disseminated or disclosed to any person or entity other than the intended recipient(s), and may not be reproduced, in any form, without the express written consent of the author or presenter. The information on this page is intended for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
17.
Who Pays For
ESI Production Zubulake gave us the 7-Factor test for who pays 1. Extent the request is specifically tailored to discover relevant information 2. Availability of information from other sources 3. Total cost of production compared to amount in controversy 4. Total cost of production compared to resources of each party 5. Relative ability of party to control costs and its incentive to do so 6. Importance of the issues at stake in the litigation 7. Relative benefits to the parties of obtaining the information CONFIDENTIAL © 2010 Barnes & Thornburg LLP. All Rights Reserved.

The information on this page is intended for informational purposes only and shall not be construed as legal advice or a legal opinion of Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
18.
What is Spoliation
• The destruction of relevant evidence before either side can see it • Nearly impossible to destroy ESI, and attempts to do so are easily uncovered Leon v. IDX Sys. Corp. Nucor Corp v. Bell Connor v.

Are You Confused
on What to Do • Retain a few weeks of backup (30-60 days); then delete or archive data in an automated way • By using backup only for short-term or disaster recovery purposes, companies can backup and recover faster while deleting older backup sets within months instead of years. This results in a vast amount of storage that can be confidently deleted or archived for long-term storage. • Implement deduplication everywhere • Develop and enforce information retention policies (what can and cannot be deleted, and when). Automated, policy-driven deletion creates less risk than ad-hoc, manual deletion. CONFIDENTIAL © 2010 Barnes & Thornburg LLP. All Rights Reserved.

Practical Guidelines for
Searching Employees’ Stuff a. Don’t question an employee based on a mere assumption. Wait until you have collected some evidence that supports this assumption. - assumptions = harassment b. Be careful to keep questioning sessions short, and avoid using any physical restraint or threatening the employee with arrest or termination. - no false imprisonment, coercion, intimidation c. The actual interview should be tape-recorded if possible. Any tapes made for this purpose should be kept in a designated place and the employer should keep track of who has had access to the tape. d. Ask the employee for permission to conduct the search. If the employee refuses, remind the employee of the company’s policy regarding searches. If the employee continues to refuse to consent to the search, ask him or her to sign a statement that he or she knows the company’s search policy and refuses to agree to a search.
