As much as 90 percent of all documents and correspondence are created and maintained in electronic formats, according to information experts. So it is not surprising that the focus of many lawsuits is shifting to electronically stored information: how to preserve it, how to search vast quantities of it for relevant evidence, and how to produce it in discovery. Amendments to federal rules involving civil procedures that went into effect in December will require organizations involved in litigation, including higher-education institutions, to provide much more electronic information to their opponents in court. The rules formally recognize that such information is discoverable, and that, at the very beginning of a lawsuit, the two sides will have to meet and discuss what electronic data they have that might serve as evidence, as well as the protocols for producing it. The sheer volume and dynamic nature of electronically stored information make the discovery process far more complicated than with traditional hard-copy documents. Failure to appropriately preserve, protect, and produce such information that is relevant to litigation can be disastrous. This is demonstrated by two recent legal cases that the author presents in this article. Here, he talks about e-discovery abuse and points out that administrators must become knowledgeable in the new methodologies, protocols, and strategies regarding e-discovery. He also discusses what administrators should do regarding e-discovery.
