eDiscovery 101 Blog From Litigation Logic CEO Anthony Martinez Catches Traction And Attention of Law Firm Litigators And Internal Litigation/Practice Support Departments Staff

eDiscovery 101 Blog Raises A Very Important Issue In Its First Published Blog Titled "5 Easy Steps To Becoming An In-House Electronic Discovery Guru" That Focuses On Helping Law Firms Internal Support Departments Take A More Proactive Role In Electronic Discovery Cases With Attorneys.

Miami (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 19, 2009 -- Litigation Logic, a high profile leader in electronic discovery and litigation support services to top AMLAW 100 law firms and corporate legal departments, officially released its first Blog titled eDiscovery 101 this week that is taking electronic discovery discussions to a new level. The first blog titled "5 Easy Steps To Becoming An In-House Electronic Discovery Guru" from Litigation Logic Chief Executive Officer Anthony Martinez focuses on helping Litigation Support Analysis and Mangers become more proactive in cases involving electronic discovery. "I'm a complete Litigation/Practice Support Department advocate. I believe that these departments should be the first line of consultation when electronic discovery is relevant in a case because they're there specifically to handle the need," says Anthony Martinez. "More and more service providers are reaching out to attorneys directly instead of these departments because the consensus is that these departments can't pull the trigger and at best can only recommend strategies if their opinion is of any value at all. I don't think that is the way it should be and I'm going to do what I can to change that with the eDiscovery 101 Blog."

Discovery has certainly come a long way from it paper days of massive copies. "It was the paralegals that ran the vendors back in the day because it was the paralegal directly responsible for the copy work. They were the hands on people," says Anthony Martinez. "When scanning and coding came into play Paralegals became the first litigation support staff members playing quasi-roles and embracing new titles like lit support specialist, coordinator and manager. They were still the ones vendors had to go through because they were not only knowledgeable about the databases like Summation and Concordance they were the hands on people responsible for the load files and data. Electronic Discovery and the processing approaches have somehow limited lit support and practice support roles to post processing efforts of using conversion utilities like Law and eScan-it or database loading and have almost eliminated them from the pre-discovery phases of data analysis and culling down the data. A process both software provider companies and service provider companies alike completely market directly to attorneys."

eDiscovery 101 is a Blog dedicated to educating support staff and attorneys on the fundamentals of electronic discovery and how to help internal departments play a more critical role in each phase of the EDRM (Electronic Discovery Reference Model). The design of the eDiscovery 101 Blog is to start with the basic hands on theory and then approach the more technical processes as they apply to each phase of the EDRM.
