E-discovery Goes In-house

As legal issues have moved into the electronic age, so has the discovery process. Discovery is the pre-trial process in legal actions that involve making documents available to the other party so as to improve the fairness and efficiency of the actual proceedings. Since many documents are now electronic, the process of e-discovery was born a few years ago to include the production of electronic documents. E-discovery has grown as a part of the legal process and now has reached the point that companies are bringing it in-house so as to include it in their regular control operations.
