Welcome eDiscovery Peer!

Here are the evolving rules of the road:

  • All member comments or submissions are personal opinions and should not be considered employer company statements, legal or professional advice. Members should not disclose any confidential information or post anything that violates any applicable laws, regulations, common sense or good taste.
  • Personal attacks, trolling, hidden/overt sales pitches and other uncivil discourse shall result in deletion of content and immediate membership revocation. Administrators/moderators may give a one time warning at their personal discretion, but do not count on it.
  • Every member controls their own display name and has the right to keep their professional identity private. Doxing a member or otherwise identifying the real or guessed source of a website post is grounds for immediate ban from the eDiscovery Journal.
    • The eDiscovery Journal protects member Personally Identifiable Information as the source of member participation excepting legal requests or violation of acceptable usage policies.
    • Members can submit sensitive comments and questions directly to the Editor and request anonymous posting or a private response.
  • Despite the restricted membership and access rights, the eDiscoveryJournal.com should be considered a public forum when participating. Posting comments or other active participation grants eDiscovery Journal the right to display and store your content as part of that discussion.
  • Experience and/or financial involvement with a product or company should be clearly disclosed when that company/product is named in discussion. Statements should clearly distinguish between personal opinion and technical fact/function. Please remember that caselaw, technology and acceptable practices are constantly evolving.
    • Example: “Relativity has multiple search indexes. I have 8 years experience and work for a Relativity reseller/provider.”
  • eDiscovery pricing is always a sensitive topic. Members should not disclose anything that might fall under an existing NDA or confidentiality agreement. Furthermore, members consider potential FTC violations of price fixing when answering questions or otherwise posting information. Members are encouraged to discuss pricing trends, consumption models, publicly posted prices and similar beneficial facts that can be safely disclosed.
