A Checklist For Lawyers - and Adversaries
Morgan Lewis has developed a checklist for use by its firm when discussing e-discovery with a client.
According to the memo distributed to the Morgan Lewis Litigation Team, "[t]he goal of our guidance is twofold: to help our clients develop a plan that is both cost-effective and defensible. While the obligations, resources and record management practices of every client and case differ, this memorandum attempts to outlines the core considerations and steps necessary to prepare an effective electronic discovery management plan."
Morgan Lewis then sets forth a "best practices" plan for managing electronic discovery.
I am confident that the adversaries of Morgan Lewis' clients will be very interested in seeing the "best practice" inquiries Morgan Lewis attorneys makes of its clients in preparing for discovery in litigation.
