In a world where the pace of innovation often outflanks the law, e-discovery offers a bright spot. The policies and procedures that define e-discovery have, for the most part, kept pace with the changing demands placed on practitioners through new review technology and increasing data complexity. In addition to the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), for example, the Sedona Conference also recently released its third edition of e-discovery principles.

While it may seem that cybersecurity guidance has been missing from e-discovery, the industry has lately become more aware of its cybersecurity needs , spurred in no small part by legal and the corporate sector’s awareness of its own vulnerabilities. In Ernst & Young’s “Cybersecurity in eDiscovery” webinar, experts discussed how this new e-discovery landscape is forming and what is driving its evolution.
