Recently, I've heard several people make the statement that "law firms grow most during tough economic times." This is not surprising as desperate times often lead to disagreements, the merging or division of assets, and massive organizational changes.There is lots for a lawyer to do.
More and more, IT teams are finding themselves entangled in legal webs as legal actions spawn electronic discovery efforts. E-discovery can quickly become a costly and time-intensive activity -- and can put immense strain on an enterprise's business as usual. So much so, that many enterprises choose to simply settle cases in order to avoid the costly, and often painful, process altogether. Adding to the pain of an e-discovery process is the confusing marketplace of technologies that are classified as "e-discovery" tools. These can range from everything from search engines to full-blown case management tools.
Today we added our newest course, "The Fundamentals of E-Discovery" to our ever-expanding curriculum of online courses. Our hope is that this course will give you the basics that you should know before beginning an e-discovery project and help you minimize your risk by taking a pro-active approach to e-discovery. Armed with these fundamentals, you will be able to help your team see how e-discovery technology can be an essential part of the solution, but not the solution alone.

"There are two main features of The Search & Information Access Research that keep me coming back to it as a reference. There are, of course, the reviews of the different tools, which are very helpful when I quickly need to learn about a new search engine. But of even more value is its treatment of the requirements and pitfalls of search implementations in general. Highly recommended for those considering a search implementation."
