PORTLAND, Ore. — June 25, 2008 — Fios® Inc., the only full-service provider that focuses exclusively on the complex and rapidly evolving realm of e-discovery, announced today that the completely updated book, A Process of Illumination: The Practical Guide to Electronic Discovery, by Mary Mack, Esq., will be unveiled tomorrow, June 26, 2008, at ALM's LegalTech West Coast tradeshow in Los Angeles. The guide, originally published in 2002, is regarded as the definitive book on e-discovery, with thousands of copies distributed worldwide. It provides practical advice on preparing for and responding to e-discovery requests in response to litigation and government investigations.
"Fios has long been regarded as a thought leader in e-discovery," said Mary Mack, Esq., corporate technology counsel for Fios and author of the book. "When we first wrote the book six years ago, there was very little information available about e-discovery best practices. What's truly amazing is that this book has been used throughout the legal and IT communities, including by law schools and judges, to better understand the ever-changing complexities of e-discovery. Many readers have shared their stories and wisdom with us. The newly updated book is another example of Fios' continued commitment to educating our clients and the market."
A Process of Illumination: The Practical Guide to Electronic Discovery has been completely updated to include:
- The latest case rulings and their impact on e-discovery practices
- Emerging industry standards and trends that are shaping how e-discovery practices are defined and measured
- Practical examples of how early e-discovery planning can reduce costs and mitigate risk
- Examples of the impact of amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and strategies for ensuring compliance
The updated book, which retails for $99.95, will be available for purchase on Amazon.com by mid-July. Fios will be giving away 100 complimentary copies (50 each day) during LegalTech West Coast at its booth (#233). Author Mary Mack will also be onsite during the conference to answer e-discovery questions and to sign books.
