Electronic Evidence And Discovery

"Pack this one in your beach bag and get ready for nonstop fun." --- Susan Mallery, New York Times bestselling author, on Barefoot in the Sand As a professional gardener, Tessa Galloway can grow anything except the one thing she wants the most - a baby. Finally ready to take a chance on single motherhood by less-than-traditional means, her world is suddenly turned upside down when a sexy, mysterious new chef is hired for the resort in Barefoot Bay. Placed in the witness protection program after identifying his wife's killer, John Brown is on the cusp of getting back the only thing that matters - his toddler twins, taken into protective custody after the high profile crime that killed their mother. But when John learns the system requires him to prove he's married and stable before he can secure his children, he escalates the growing attraction for Tessa to a full-on seduction, leading right to the altar. But when love unexpected blooms between them, will his secret be the thing that uproots their happy ending?

"Virtually every case today, from small claims to class actions, involves electronic information: emails, word-processing documents, spreadsheets and databases, metadata, digital photographs, and many other media. Electronic information can make or break a legal cause of action or a defence-or lead to a quick settlement."--Pub. desc.

An examination of digital evidence from initial collection through to presentation of evidence in court. Electronic discovery represents a new paradigm for litigators. Digital information, from email and attachments, to documents created on word processors, to instant messaging communications and "Twitters", is what comprises discovery today. Preserving the chain of custody from collection of this digital evidence to presentation in court is imperative. Electronic courtrooms are becoming more common to allow presentation of evidence in electronic format and this will continue, not only for large, document heavy cases, but for all litigation matters in the future. Australian courts continue to develop practical standards to ensure consistency of data and documents during discovery and at trial. This book is a must-read for all litigators, students and academics, especially those who have not dealt with electronic documents during discovery.

The use of electronic evidence has increased dramatically over the past few years, but many lawyers still struggle with the complexities of electronic discovery. This valuable book provides lawyers with the templates they need to frame their discovery requests, and provides helpful advice on what they can subpoena.
