April 28, 2009 Full PDF
Litigation partners Chris Boehning and Dan Toal's article, "Court Issues 'Wake-Up Call' on Slipshod Search Terms," was published in the April 28 issue of the New York Law Journal. The article discusses the judge's opinion in the William A. Gross case in which she stressed the importance of properly crafted electronic searches. The four requirements for the production of electronically stored information (ESI) include the cooperation between opposing counsel, a careful design of appropriate keywords, selecting these keywords with input from the ESI custodians and a validation of the proposed technique to ensure it is not substantially over- or under-inclusive. Litigation law clerk Yitzchak Soloveichik assisted in the preparation of this article.
