Electronic discovery refers to discovery in legal proceedings (i.e., litigation, government investigations, or Freedom of Information Act requests). Also referred to as electronically stored information (ESI), electronic discovery is treated differently than paper information because of its intangible and often voluminous form. Metadata can often be obtained in electronic information and can potentially be an important part of evidence. Digital evidence has become ubiquitous in the context of a modern legal action. This electronic evidence, consisting of any stored or transmitted information that may be relied upon in court, can require litigants to depend upon cybersecurity or internet security expertise to determine its authenticity and use.
Representative electronic discovery issues that have required expert witness services involve:
- Spoliation of evidence,
- digital forensics, for example, contractual disputes involving electronic discovery,
- fraud, such as fraudulent documentation.
Litigation support by an electronic discovery expert witness could include document review, electronic data analysis, expert report preparation, expert opinion, deposition, and testimony at trial. In addition, clients may seek a digital forensic or computer forensics expert for pre-litigation consultant work.
