Parents are smarter than lawyers when it comes to e-discovery, because moms and dads focus on front-end behavior, rather than back-end damage control. I realized this after a long day of working with a witness and dealing with typical discovery issues, when my wife mentioned the importance of teaching our kids that everything they do online lives forever.
Most lawyers know that prevention is cheaper than repair. So, why do attorneys spend so much time and money fixing problems after clients’ employees engage in unprofessional online behavior, without imploring them to focus on reducing risk?
