Native E-Discovery: Gold Mine or False Prospect?
Jerold S. Solovy and Robert L. Byman
Thursday, August 31, 2006
Albert Einstein posited that "Everything should be made as simple as 
possible ... but not simpler." So consider this simple question: When 
you seek electronic discovery, do you want all of the data or just some 
of them? The answer seems simple. You want production of electronic 
data in their most robust format, in the "native" format in which your 
adversary has created and maintained them. Maybe. That simple answer 
simply may not work in every case.
