The digital revolution continues to re-shape and re-define the process of civil litigation. With the rise of electronically stored information comes an array of issues relating to the management, search, and presentation of such digital information.
In the pre-trial context comes the issue of using computer software to assist with searching electronically stored data; this issue is particularly important where there is a very large database. In the trial preparation and trial conduct context there are issues relating to the fidelity and admissibility of evidence in an electronic format.
