Silverthorn, Ann. Mimosa adds e-discovery. InfoStor. Aug. 16, 2006.

As expected, we're seeing an increase in vendors proclaiming support for 'e-discovery'. Archive and legal technology vendors tend to be first ... and most archive vendors tend to describe 'e-discovery' as finding and triaging evidence in the archive. While this is part of the solution, this isn't anywhere near all there is to e-discovery. It's a start.

Sengupta, David. Best Practices for Exchange E-Discovery (with Foreword by Paul Robichaux). Quest Software. May 2006. Just published this whitepaper on electronic discovery ... very much written for folks with little or no legal background coming from the IT perspective wanting to know what this "e-discovery" (AKA "Electronic Discovery" (ED), "Electronic Evidence Discovery" (EED), "Data Discovery" (DD), and so on).

Sengupta, David. Build an Email-Discovery Plan. Exchange & Outlook Administrator. Apr. 24, 2006 (online) & June 2006 Print Edition.

Build an Email-Discovery Plan Here's an article I wrote recently on e-discovery in Exchange environments, specifically addressing the complementary roles that archival and discovery solutions play from a compliance perspective. It's important to note, as I illustrate in the article, that both types of solutions need to be part of your toolkit if compliance (be it internal, regulatory and/or legal) are a concern in your company. Hope you enjoy the article. If you have comments, e-mail me at mailman at quest dot com. David

Charles, Deborah. Moussaoui trial on hold. Reuters. Mar. 13, 2006.

News One Article Reuters.com Yet another case - this one really high profile - in which e-mail evidence is playing a key role, as we speak. In this case, US District Judge Leonie Brinkema has released e-mails showing that TSA lawyer Carla Martin "sent potential witnesses transcripts of part of the trial and also coached them on how to handle certain questions related to aviation security". It continues to amaze me what people will put in e-mail. In this particular case, justice against one of the Sept. 11th conspirators may end up being tainted. David
