Assignment: Complete the spreadsheet $($data map$)$ as your lawyer directed. Please note: $1.$ This is the scenario. You can$$t fire your lawyer or persuade her that, by your reading of the law, her request to you is overbroad and unduly burdensome. Neither can you respond that, without knowing what the case is about, you can$$t comply. The uncertainty respecting scope and relevance is not an oversight here. The nature of the request closely parallels the paucity of guidance and lack of restraint commonly seen in practice. $2.$ You will be bearing the cost of preservation and are spending your own hard$-$earned cash; so$,$ consider how you might balance the obligation to preserve against the cost of the contemplated method. Also, remember that evidence can be both inculpatory and exculpatory. You may be barred from introducing information that helps you, if you fail to identify it in a timely way. $3.$ The goal of the exercise is not to invade your privacy. You are mapping your own data because it$$s easiest. Mapping your own data doesn$$t require you to reach out to others as a lawyer must do$.$ If identifying a genuine source seems too intrusive, feel free to change the name. That is$,$ if you don$$t want to list that you have a Gmail account, you can call it something like $$web mail account #$1.$ If you don$$t want anyone to know you once used MySpace or Second Life, you can call them Social Networking Sites $1$ and $2.$ X$-$Box Live can be $$Online Gaming Community.$$ Again, the purpose is not to intrude upon private matters but to promote your learning to map data sources accurately, thoroughly. $4.$ Use attached Excel Spreadsheet $5.$ The time required to complete the assignment will vary depending upon the number and variety of sources and your ability to ascertain the required metrics. If it takes hours, you$$re overdoing it$.$ If it takes under an hour, chances are you haven$$t considered all sources or garnered the requisite metrics. You must broadly consider paper document sources, but concentrate your efforts on electronically stored information. $6.$ For this exercise, you are free to seek information from any source so long as you do not delegate the core effort to anyone else. You are not expected to contact others $($e$.$g$.,$ employers, schools, family$)$ for specific metrics. $7.$ If you have questions, e$-$mail them to me through the course website. $8.$ As you work on this project, please reflect on the pervasiveness and variety of digital information; then, consider what might be required to data map a large government agency or a multinational corporation facing a class action or governmental inquiry. Observe how little you may know about the nature and extent of data others hold for and about you. Further, be sensitive to any reluctance you feel about sharing certain information and the thought and time required to marshal the data. How might such feelings in clients and their employees impede a thorough and accurate data mapping effort? What questions and strategies might attorneys employ to elicit information and prevent clients from falsely checking $$none$$ on a questionnaire or furnishing incomplete data?
