Legal Tech: Winter 2019 E-Discovery Case Law Review

By Mike Hamilton
March 01, 2019

As a practice, e-discovery involves professionals from a variety of disciplines. For this case law review, we spoke with professionals who play different roles in the e-discovery process to identify three case law rulings from 2018 that stood out in the impact they have on how e-discovery is practiced today. The rulings in EPAC Technologies v. Harper Collins Christian Publishing, Waymo LLC v. Uber Techs, Inc., and Klipsch Group v. EPro E-Commerce all have the potential to cause organizations to re-evaluate their e-discovery processes to make sure they are complying with the requirements of the law.
