Interesting article..

Here's an interesting article by Craig Ball, called "E-Discovery for
Everybody".

http://www.craigball.com/E-Discovery%20for%20Everybody.pdf

This addresses the "accessibility of eDiscovery" issue that we
discussed at the meeting today, and that we'll be posting a more
formal account of later on. It's doesn't offer a complete solution,
but does address the real problem.. How to make eDiscovery, and thus
the entire modern legal process, fair and accessible to those with
limited or no resources?

Here's a quick teaser (the first few lines of the article):

"E-discovery is just for big budget cases involving big companies,
handled by big firms.

Right, and suffrage is just for white, male landowners.

Some Neanderthal notions take longer than others to get shown the
door, and it's time to dispel the mistaken belief that e-discovery is
just for the country club set.

Today, evidence means electronic evidence; so, like the courts
themselves, access to evidence can't be just for the privileged.
Everyone gets to play." - Craig Ball
