A Day in the Life of an Email in e-Discovery
Date: May 19, 2009
Duration: 60 minutes
In litigation, there is often no better smoking gun than the corporate email. Emails tend to be informal and much less circumspect than other corporate documents, so they are the perfect target once a lawsuit is filed or an investigation is initiated. This webcast takes a look at what legal professionals need to understand about email during e-discovery. Follow the travels of an email across multiple computers, from the moment of creation to arrival at its final resting place on a hard drive, server or mobile device. This webcast also provides a deep dive into:
- The anatomy of an email, including metadata – when it was created, from which computer it was sent and the precise path it took on the way to its destination
- Where email can be found and how to distinguish between emails that live on different servers (e.g., Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes)
- The new role of Internet email, which is a frequently overlooked place for finding important email messages
- Why an email message isn’t gone simply because the delete key was pressed
