We will talk about common methods used today; what some of their limitations are; how like any database driven task, a bad collection or poor records management at the front end can impede good ECA; and how new technologies like concept searching are making ECA easier to accomplish. This should be an interesting show and given the changes occuring in ECA, possibly controversial in nature.

• June 22, 2010 Podcast: Quon and the Supreme Court Tackling An E-Discovery Issue by McNicholas
  

  Listen to Karl Schieneman, Director of Analytics and Review with JurInnov talk about how electronic discovery differs when it occurs as part of a government investigation. Our panelist for todayâ??s show is EDWARD R. MCNICHOLAS is a partner in the Washington, D.C., office of Sidley Austin LLP. Edâ??s practice focuses on clients facing complex information technology, constitutional and privacy issues in civil and white-collar criminal matters. He has significant experience with a wide-range of cutting-edge Internet and information law matters involving privacy and data protection, online brand protection, eDiscovery, electronic surveillance, defamation, information security, cloud computing, trade secrets, social media, locational privcy, e-commerce, and national security. The 2007 Computerworld survey of "Best Privacy Advisers" recognized Mr. McNicholas as one of the "Top 25 Privacy Experts" in the country, and Mr. McNicholas and Sidley's Privacy and Data Security practice were selected for Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business for 2008 and 2009 as well as Chambers Global for 2010. Ed and I will talk about the U.S. Supreme Courtâ??s recent decision in Quon and how it sheds light on the Supreme Courtâ??s take on electronic discovery. Widely viewed as a punt, the Supreme Court did not talk much about electronic discovery and instead based its decision on whether the 4th Amendment was violated. Ed and I will talk narrowly about the Quon case and more broadly on what the case says about the U.S. Supremeâ??s court appetite and expertise in tackling electronic discovery issues.

• June 11, 2010 Podcast: How EDiscovery Education At the Local Level Works at Friends of EDiscovery
  

  Listen to Karl Schieneman, Director of Analytics and Review with JurInnov talk about Friends of E-Discovery, as a local tool to foster best local practices when tackling E-Discovery issues. Back in September well known E-Discovery expert Tom Allman after doing a podcast with Judge Grimm and myself told me about a local networking group called Friends of E-Discovery he had started with Pete Pepiton in Cincinnati, Ohio. At these meetings, local lawyers from in-house and outside law firms would show up and confidentially discuss their issues and ideas on how to better handle records management, legal holds, and e-discovery. I attended one of their meetings as in invited guest and was so impressed that I then set up a similar group in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our panelists for todayâ??s show include Doug Matthews who set up a Friends of EDiscovery group in Columbus, Ohio and Pete Pepiton who created the idea for Friends of E-Discovery. Doug Matthews is a partner in the Vorys Columbus office and a member of the litigation group. His practice focuses on employment litigation and counseling and electronic discovery matters. Doug has represented both corporate and public entities in a variety of employment-related litigation, including multiple putative class actions. He has also advised a broad range of clients on employment-related matters and on the management and discovery of electronically stored information. Pete Pepiton is an electronic discovery consultant and a member of both The Sedona Conference and EDRM. He has also been facilitating the establishment of Friends of EDiscovery groups in a variety of cities around the country. Listen to why a local group of colleagues who know each other and trust each other can develop better working relationships than can be developed at national seminars and how such a group can result in better E-Discovery education within a local market. Learn how to set up a similar group, what works in a meeting, what doesnâ??t work well, and why this appears to be such a useful tool for tackling e-discovery issues.

• June 3, 2010 Podcast: The Truth About Metadata by John Rosenthal and Bill Butterfield
  

  Listen to Karl Schieneman, Director of Analytics and Review with JurInnov talk about how important or irrelevant metadata is with two e-discovery experts with different perspectives. John Rosenthal is the head of E-Discovery at Winston Strawn and typically on the defense side. Bill Butterfield is a well known plaintiff attorney from the law firm Hausfeld LLP. They are both based in Washington, DC and are well known in national e-discovery circles. This should be a lively discussion as we explore more deeply the burdens metadata productions place on defendants, how much metadata can improve review process instead of leading to a smoking gun piece of evidence which is fairly rare, and other thoughts in this developing area of electronic discovery.

• May 10, 2010 Podcast: E-Discovery Lawyers Training Other Lawyers
  

  Listen to Karl Schieneman, Director of Legal Analytics and Review discuss with three different E-Discovery lawyers from three different types of law firms how interact and "coach" other lawyers in their firm on the nuances of E-Discovery. The three lawyers are: Chris Fisher, a partner at Ulmer Berne and based in Cleveland; OH; Therese Miller, Of Counsel with Shook Hardy & Bacon and based in San Francisco, CA; and Rick Lettieri, the creator of a virtual law firm that partners with other lawyers who need E-Discovery expertise they don't have in-house and based in Pittsburgh, PA. This should be an interesting discussion on a topic I don't think anyone else has ever covered before. Especially since many lawyers, and especially litigators, are comfortable they know how to litigate without hand holding. So how is this sensitive topic broached and handled in the world of E-Discovery? We will see how these attorneys handle that issue.

• April 16, 2010 Podcast: Lessons on E-Discovery in Canada by Judge Colin Campbell and Susan Wortzman
  

  Canada has offered guidance to the U.S. on alternative healthcare systems and recently schooled us in Olympic Men's Hockey. So it isn't far fetched to talk about how Electronic Discovery is handled in Canada. This is a useful show for legal professionals who might litigate cases in Canada as well as legal professionals who want to hear ideas of what works from our neighbors up North. Their system is far less adverserial and yes there are more privacy laws which differ from U.S. laws. This podcast will include Susan Wortzman from Wortzman Nickle, a well known boutique law firm based in Toronto, Canada which focuses on Electronic Discovery. In addition, Judge Colin Campbell, a participant in the Sedona Conference and one of Canada's most widely recognized speakers on electronic discovery.

• Mar. 16, 2010 Podcast: Concept Searching Tips By Karl Schieneman
  

  "Listen to Karl Schieneman, Director of Analytics and Review with JurInnov talk about concept searching. This is a special ESIBytes program because Karl is being interviewed by Kelly Twigger from ESI Attorneys. In this program we will talk about how to use concept searching tools, what does concept searching mean to Key Word Searching?, how to use concept searching to really beef up early case assessment, what some of the challenges of using concept searching are, and a variety of other related topics. This should be a very interesting show and its genesis is due to past guests such as Kelly Twigger asking me to do a show on what I focus on in electronic discovery. So now after approximately 70 shows where we have promoted the talents of other people in the E-Discovery field, ESIBytes will for the first time promote what I work on at JurInnov. My quick calculation is this means that we have used 1.4% of our shows to promote our skills at JurInnov and 98.6% of the shows on what our guests specialize in. Thanks again to Kelly for pointing this out and I am looking forward to doing this show tomorrow. Please let me know if you found the show interesting or helpful. Also, don't be nervous about the show turning into a JurInnov advertisement in the future, I have two more shows scheduled with Judge Grimm and one with Judge Rosenbaum coming up in the next three weeks on Admiissibility of ESI and the law students perspective on E-Discovery."

• Should Law Firms Outsource or Insource E-Discovery Tools?
  

  "Listen to Karl Schieneman, Director of Legal Analytics and Review with JurInnov talk with Stephanie Maw, Litigation Support Manager with Cincinnati based Keating Muething and Klekamp, PLL and Chris Olsson, CEO of Cricket Legal Technologies and a former E-Discovery Technology Manager for an Am-Law 20 law firm discuss the complex issues associated with this question. What it takes for a law firm to be able to sustain managing technology in e-discovery, the risks of owning software, when it makes sense, and other issues will be discussed.

  "Because this show was created from San Juan, Puerto Rico on a cell phone, there were a few technical problems with me losing contact with the show which required me to edit part of the show. It was still a very interesting dialogue and the only edits reflected dialogue involving me rejoining the call and asking what had happened while I was off. Like every E-discovery project, things sometimes don’t go perfectly. My guests were outstanding and carried on without me for the 5 minutes or so which I lost audio contact. Enjoy."

• Feb. 12, 2010 Podcast: Pension Committee Opinion and Legal Holds by John Jablonski

The sound quality is okay and at times my editting skills have been tested, but if you have never been to Legal Tech, you will get a sense of the types of people you can run into at the largest legal technology show in the country. In addition, the photograph at ESIBytes.com is from my 45th birthday party which I threw at Legal Tech. I'd like to thank my guests and friends at the party who are Laura Zubulake and Kevin Esposito featured in the photograph, Jim Shook, Peter Vogel, Kelly Twigger, John Collins, Quin Gregor, and David Cohen for attending my birthday dinner, drinking reasonable quantities of my 4th C Electronic Discovery wine, and being such strong supporters of ESIBytes.com over the past year.

If you have ever wondered how cooperation fits into the litigation world, this is a show for you to listen to.

Today technology has improved and costs have come down. Work process has improved to the point where sometimes you might want to go to back up tapes as a first choice. This show will attempt to help those who are not techies have a better sense of what it means if you agree to go to back up tapes.

Judge Scheindlin has had a prominent career on the bench and is famous in the electronic discovery world for imposing sanctions on UBS Warburg in Zubulake v. UBS Warburg.

  "Recorded live in Indianapolis on April 26, 2006. On March 15th, Karl Schieneman called Tom Stevens from Act Litigation and said I found our old recording of You Don't Bring Me Paper. I am putting it on ESIBytes. Tom replied, this is a good example of a failed document retention policy. Listen to Tom Stevens from Act Litigation and Karl Schieneman from JurInnov stumble there way through David Cohen's classic rewrite of You Don't Bring Me Paper sung sort of to the music of You Don't Bring Me Flowers.

• Jun. 17, 2008 Podcast: David v. Goliath Pt 2 - Diff sized parties in E-Discovery: All Star Panel
  

  "Reaching into the archives from my BNA shows, this was one of my favourite shows. We literally had 2 panelists attacking each other in disagreement on what Goliath has to produce to David. In all of my experiences in E-Discovery CLE's, I have never heard an exchange like this. With hindsight it was professionally handled by both parties, but at the time it felt like an edgy show that I could lose control of. The all-star panel was fantastic. They were Patrick Oot, Verizon's head of electronic discovery; Kevin Esposito, Director of E-Discovery at MetaJure; Marie Lona, chair of the electronic discovery practice group at AmLaw 100 law firm Winston Strawn; Ronald Hedges, a former magistrate Judge from New Jersey who is an electronic discovery consultant; Tom French, solo practitioner from the French Law Firm; and Luke Santangelo, solo practitioner from Santangelo Law Offices."

• Jan. 26, 2006 Podcast: Pt 2 Building an E-Discovery Process For Success - All Star Panel
  

  "This was the online CLE program I hosted. Given the fact there have been at least 80 shows since it, it must have gone alright. This was the first show which attacked the nuts and bolts of an electronic discovery project in the trenches. How to get technology and a review team operating correctly. This show was created out of frustration. I had attended so many national CLE conferences, and no one was talking about how the work is actually done. What I decided to do, with Carole Eoannou's support at Digital Discovery and e-Evidence, is put a program of thought leaders together to discuss this issue. The All Star cast was excellent: Kevin Esposito who at the time was leading Pfizer's efforts in E-Discovery and now is a Director of E-Discovery at MetaJure; Tim Opsitnick from JurInnov who I now work with and an original Sedona Conference member; Tess Blair who heads Morgan Lewis's E-Discovery group; Tim Coon from Eckert Seamans who was a significant client of mine at the time and was staffing one of the largest projects in the country; Chris Olsson who was a technology manager at Reed Smith but now is in charge of Cricket's Electronic Discovery application; Jim Michalowicz who was a consultant at Altman Weil at the time but now is a Director at ACT Litigation; and my singing partner on You Don't Bring me Paper, Tom Stevens from ACT Litigation. Together we covered a fictitious litigation which went horribly wrong, all based loosely on true facts in the electronic discovery world, and the panel offered suggestions on what could have been done better on this electronic discovery project."
