Electronically Stored Information (ESI)
In this section, you can learn about electronically stored information. Litigation attorneys often refer to electronically stored information as “ESI.”
You will learn what attorneys should know about electronically stored information to advise their clients before litigation occurs and to ensure effective advocacy in litigation without being sanctioned for improper electronic discovery of electronically stored information.
The sections here are offered as a quick primer into the process of handling electronically stored information before and during litigation.
The sections here are generally presented in chronological order, starting with before there is a threat of litigation and ending with trial. During each stage of the litigation continuum, attorneys and companies must proceed carefully as they handle ESI and process electronic discovery.
The sections here present the minimum requirements you must follow when dealing with ESI and electronic discovery. These sections also present “best practices” for handling ESI and electronic discovery.
