eDiscovery Daily Blog

Lucky Seven! eDiscovery Daily is Seven Years Old!

Believe it or not, it has been seven years ago today since we launched the eDiscovery Daily blog!

We launched seven years ago on September 20, 2010.  Back then, we told you to not get “wild” with wildcards and published our first case law post about a case where the spoliator of data was actually threatened with jail time –  our first of 575 posts about case law to date, covering more than 400 distinct cases!  We’ve published over 1,800 lifetime posts, and every post is still available on the site for your reference.

As always, we have you to thank for all of that success!  Thanks for making the eDiscovery Daily blog a regular resource for your eDiscovery news and analysis!  We really appreciate the support!

As many of you know by now, we like to take a look back every six months at some of the important stories and topics during that time.  So, here are some posts over the last six months you may have missed.  Enjoy!

Thanks for the interest you’ve shown in the topics!  We will do our best to continue to provide interesting and useful eDiscovery news and analysis.  And, as always, please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic!  On to 8 years and 2,000 lifetime posts!  :o)
