Kroll Analyzes 2011 EDD Pains & Progress

Kroll Ontrack has just released its annual analysis of e-discovery cases and trends. 

Michele Lange, the company's director of discovery, explains that the company evalulated 92 cases evaluated, 67% involved preservation and spoliation, 42% addressed sanctions, and 15% involved production disputes, reports Evan Koblentz on LTN's website.

Among the conclusions of the fourth annual report were that there is increasing consensus that metadat should be included "traditional" forms of electronically stored information, notes Koblentz. Ditto for user activity on social networks.

The report also discusses new proposed model orders and cost controls, among other topics.
