FREE WHITE PAPER: MISSING CHILDREN IN THE DIGITAL MALL: MAINTAINING EMAIL MESSAGES AND THEIR ATTACHMENTS
By Michele Chan, Marketing Communications Specialist, CT Summation
How many email messages do you send every year? How about your firm as a whole?
A recent federal case in the Southern District of New York ended up before a magistrate because of 3,000 email messages produced during discovery. That doesn't sound like a lot since many of us send more than that number per year. And certainly your firm as a whole sends far more than 3,000 per year.
But that relatively small number of messages caused a great deal of trouble in this case, including a testy magistrate.
Every litigator knows that what you don't know can hurt you. In this case, plaintiff's counsel didn't understand the parent-child nature of email — that is, email attachments.
PARENTS, CHILDREN, AND THE TIES THAT BIND ...
Our new white paper, Missing Children in the Digital
Mall: Maintaining Email Messages and their Attachments, addresses this important case and its aftermath.
Here's what you'll find (plus it's a quick read):
• A complete synopsis of this case, including the magistrate's decision.
• A technical analysis of what went wrong during the production and where the blame really lies — the vendor hired by plaintiff's counsel to produce the messages.
• A discussion of software tools that would have prevented this fiasco from occurring by properly producing the email messages and their corresponding attachments.
If you handle email during discovery or think you might someday soon, please download this free white paper now.
Sincerely,
Michele Chan
