Roitblat, Ph.D. What is electronically stored information (ESI)? Electronically stored information is, roughly, any information that is or could be stored in a computer. “Computer,” in this case, has a very broad meaning, because many devices outside of the server room or off the desktop include computers and ESI. Not only is ESI proliferating in volume, but also in the variety of devices that may contain it. Electronically stored information is the lifeblood of the modern enterprise. It is where the information is.

The amendments to FRCP Rule 26 in this December 2006 update highlight this "arrival" as they spell out among other things: the mandate for involved parties to have early meet-and-confer sessions to discuss and hopefully agree on the handling of electronically stored information, guidance to involved parties as to whether ESI may be Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:54:54 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/2264619/ComplexDiscovery-Considering-ESI-Definitions-Questions-and-Notes http://www.scribd.com/doc/2259198/ComplexDiscovery-Second-Requests "Quick Looks, Second Requests, and the Hart Scott Rodino Act (HSR) By Rob Robinson What Is A Second Request?
