Rothstein case raising eDiscovery disputes

Rothstein case raising eDiscovery disputes. A bitter dispute over ediscovery in the Rothstein bankruptcy is highlighting the complex issues that electronic and cloud data storage create for courts. How to distinguish personal and private communications from legally relevant ones in a large electronic database is a serious problem. Many law firms are outsourcing ediscovery tasks; but, they are also hiring in house employees to navigate the data minefield. In the early days of ediscovery, I was sanguine about the possiblility of doing data collection and analysis in house. Today, I am more certain than ever that third party sourcing is the only way to go. As they say in the commercials; don't try this at home.
