Those of you who do any products liability, medical negligence, or commerical litigation know that e-discovery is a hot topic. More and more discoverable data never makes its way to a piece of paper, so a RFP seeking only paper documents will not get you what you hoped to get or are entitled to get.

A Seattle law firm has created a blog dedicated to electronic discovery. Take advantage of this firm’s resources to educate yourself about and stay current on this important issue.
