Helping Carlos understand the difference between sharing evidence with opposing counsel and E-Discovery is important not only for his personal experience but for the firm as well since he will be working alongside us. E-Discovery at its very basic definition is the electronic exchange of information (documents, emails, evidence, etc) and all aspects of interacting with said information. E-Discovery information is known as ESI (electronically stored information). All information that is exchanged digitally must still be properly preserved for record keeping and trials. E-Discovery is crucial to modern litigation, so knowing how to navigate it is important. Traditionally sharing evidence meant giving the evidence and documentation in physical form and storing it in a physical filing system. This may seem simpler however the volume of documentation could become quite overwhelming. Utilizing this advancement in legal technology has helped streamline discovery and trial processes. Record management has ethical implications one must understand and respect such as client privacy, confidentiality, and integrity, e-discovery still requires this ethical responsibility to be met. The FRCP rule 34 gives the guidelines for producing discovery (including E-Discovery) during civil litigation for federal cases. When it comes to E-Discovery for state level cases there are specific statutes in place for handling, storing, and exchanging ESI (Shubham, 2023). Respond to this discussion
