E-Discovery Tips From the Bench
"Judges say that if lawyers have business clients they expect to represent in court, it is important to understand the file formats clients use, the metadata, or hidden information in those files, how many PDAs, laptops and servers they own, and who is in charge of them.

Most importantly, judges say to make sure that clients have a policy regulating how digital records are kept and destroyed and that they make an effort to implement that policy."
