The Best of ABA TECHSHOW: E-mail Archiving: So, What's Wrong With Saving Everything?
We are proud to announce ABA TECHSHOW is opening its archive to bring you the best papers and presentations that have been prepared for past educational sessions of ABA TECHSHOW!

Every week, past speakers will blog about a session they presented at ABA TECHSHOW over the past years AND will provide you with a complimentary copy of their material.

If you don’t see something in the blog posts you want to learn about, or if you see a blog post that piqued your curiosity and you want to know more, we invite you to contact us and let us know about topics or presentations of interest to you so that we may invite the speakers to share their expertise and material in a future blog post.

In our first “Best of ABA TECHSHOW” blog post, we are proud to present: “E-mail Archiving: So, What's Wrong With Saving Everything?” This session was originally presented by
Peg Duncan and Jason R. Baron at ABA TECHSHOW 2009, and took a practical look at the issues pertaining to e-mail management and why e-mail is such a problem for information management in general and for litigation in particular. (Click here to see a version of Peg's paper.)

Turns out it isn’t just the volume that makes e-mail challenging! It’s the way people use it, the way people manage it (or DON’T manage it!), and the way other people exploit it. We take our day-to-day use of e-mail for granted. No surprise, then, that it has become the single most “interesting” source of evidence in litigation!

Tips regarding the following are offered in this excellent piece:
  • Why it is NOT wise to save all e-mail
  • Alternatives to e-mail
