About E-Discovery
Electronic discovery, often called e-discovery, is the process of identifying, preserving, collecting, filtering, and producing computer-based information that is evidence in litigation or an investigation.
My username is David Jordan. I work with e-discovery. As someone who enjoys the web and is surrounded by e-discovery, it was natural for me to create a website that highlights some of the best electronic discovery information on the web and provide a central hub for e-discovery knowledge. You can contact me at LITHOLD (at) GMAIL.COM.
