Metadata Meets Facebook E-Discovery The recent trial court decision in *Hinshaw & Culbertson v. E-Smart Technologies<http://www.newyorklawjournal.com/CaseDecisionNY.jsp?id=1202548297718> *,[FOOTNOTE 1]<http://www.law.com/jsp/lawtechnologynews/PubArticleLTN.jsp?id=1335724409936&slreturn=1#1>serves as notice that electronically stored information already produced, albeit in electronic form, may be required to be reproduced if the ESI did not contain metadata. Discovery of social media is now commonplace, and New York courts are having to determine whether the information posted on a party's Facebook site is "material" and "necessary" to an action. The analysis of what is "material and necessary" requires a careful examination of whether counsel has established a factual predicate for compelling the disclosure of "personal" ESI, and recent decisions highlight the often record-insufficiency of such foundation. http://bit.ly/IEFrUp Source: http://www.law.com/jsp/lawtechnologynews/PubArticleLTN.jsp?id=1335724409936&slreturn=1 See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/IEFrUp+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
