Electronic Data, eDiscovery, ESI, and Electronic Evidence: Forms and checklists prevent mistakes and give you advantages.

We have ESI (electronically stored information) litigation  forms, outlines, reports, and checklists, for working both faster and better!

In almost every case today, electronically stored evidence (ESI) is available. It is valuable to at least one side of the case.  Every litigation lawyer needs the tools for e-discovery, ESI preservation and agreements, and e-evidence at trial. 

The following are a sample of our time-saving and "save-me-worry" Electronic Data and Evidence deposition and litigation handling forms that seasoned litigation lawyers and their legal assistants develop.  In fact, these copyrighted forms are so powerful, even experienced attorneys will wonder how you happened to be so organized --- and confident.

Preserve electronic evidence with a litigation hold preservation letter.# ELEC3320. Litigation Hold Letter to Client.  Tell your litigation clients their obligations to preserve evidence, including electronic evidence.  Designed to give a psychologically effective path to communicate the serious nature of the client's obligation to preserve evidence, this three page single spaced letter guides clients so they do not make critical - but common - mistakes.  This form outline checklist style letter will save you hours of time, and give you the confidence that you have done your job as the courts require in this electronic age

Effective e-discovery starts with a demand for preservation.# ELEC3321. Litigation Hold Letter to Adverse Attorney.   The evidence preservation letter is  an important letter in today's e-data and metadata litigation, where an e-mail may be critical.  The litigation hold demands made in this form letter not only save you time.   As you modify this form for your case, the three pages of evidence preservation demands to the adverse attorney also will lead you to think clearly on what may be available to you if you use e-discovery to find electronically stored information, including the meta data.

Fed. Rule 16 requires a meet and confer conference on e-discovery.# ELEC3322. Meet and Confer Report. The federal and most state court rules require you to meet the adverse counsel and report to the court what you have done in forming a joint plan for e-discovery. This checklist style report allows you to sit down with adverse counsel and quickly have your form report checkmarked and ready to use for your report to the court.
 

A deposition to find corporate electronic evidence needs a checklist outline.# ELEC3324. Checklist for Electronic Data Discovery Deposition.  You have learned to love checklist outlines for deposing the substantive fact witnesses. This outline of questions to ask the adverse party's "computer person" has all the same advantages for the attorney taking the deposition of a corporate employee or officer in regard to the electronic records of the corporation.  Nonetheless, this deposition checklist outline is equally valuable if you are the responding attorney. As responding counsel use this checklist for preparation of your client witness who is being deposed, to assure that you and your witness have thought about the items likely to be asked. This is a "must-have" if you want to include electronic documents and data in your discovery. And who doesn't today? This deposition form outline is good not only for depositions, but also for ideas for your demand for production of documents or your interrogatories.

Solve arguments before they start!

The fact is, although you do not like to think about it, you, like all litigation attorneys need discovery, deposition and trial checklists and forms for one simple reason:

Checklists and forms prevent attorney blunders of forgetting.

Depositon and discovery checklists prevent e-evidence blunders!If you are human, you will forget something, sometime.  You do not want to forget an area of deposition or trial examination.  You do not want to be kicking yourself after the deadline, deposition ,or trial because you forgot something that would have been in a standardized checklist that experienced litigators develop after years of personal injury litigation.

Most attorneys have no real system for litigation.  They start from scratch each time, outlining what they need to do and the questions they should ask. They waste time, and more importantly, they miss issues and questions.

But that doesn't have to be you.
