About this Article:
Determining the accessibility of electronically stored information (EIS) is important to e-discovery planning, but the criteria you use can be subjective. Regardless, litigants are still obligated to preserve relevant data and should be prepared to produce such data, burdensome arguments not withstanding. Fortunately, technology is available that can meet production requirements, while minimizing the associated burden.
