Establishing Guidelines. Setting Standards. Delivering Resources.

Dedicated to "Establishing Guidelines, Setting Standards, and Delivering Resources", the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) has an ever increasing and incredibly strong content portfolio that is available for education and use by all legal, business, and technology professionals with an interest in the field of electronic discovery.

While providing content ranging from the most well known and probably most used graphic in electronic discovery - the EDRM Graphic - to lesser known materials such as the EDRM Search Guide, one area within the EDRM site that warrants close consideration by electronic discovery professionals is the EDRM Framework Guide section.

The EDRM Framework Guide section contains some of the most complete content available on electronic discovery and is an excellent example of how the collective expertise of EDRM participants has been successfully focused to address specific areas of electronic discovery challenge.

About The Guides

The EDRM Framework Guides are concise yet complete compilations of content centered around ten specific electronic discovery areas that include:

• Information Management
• Identification
• Preservation
• Collection
• Processing
• Review
• Analysis
• Production
• Presentation
• Project Management

While the text-based content within the guides is certainly credible and worthy of use in and of itself, the supporting graphics in each of the guides truly distill difficult concepts and present them in an easily understood manner. An example of one of these impressive graphics is provided below.

Considering The Guides

As one who tries daily to follow the rapidly evolving field of electronic discovery, I would highly recommend to anyone interested in electronic discovery that they take the time to review these framework guides (and all of the expanding content on the EDRM site) - as the guides and new content may very well be able to help anyone in the electronic discovery field more effectively communicate and conduct "electronic discovery".
