Columbus, OH—Litigation technology support specialists from around Ohio gather at the International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) state-wide regional meeting in Columbus, Ohio on September 12, 2011. Computer science expert Matthew Curtin is invited to speak on issues surrounding preservation and handling of electronic stored information for use in adjudication. 

Litigation technology support specialists encounter electronic evidence daily. Curtin's session helped attendees understand the implications of various methods of handling the data.

Cutin provided two articles as source material for the discussion. Discovery Beyond Documents tells the story of a wrongful death suit he worked on and the discovery process in that case. The second, Electronic Discovery of Mobile Devices gives some background about the ability to assess data in electronic form and then jumps into a discussion of what kind of information we can extract from devices and the data that they produce. (A copy of this publication can be obtained by contacting Interhack.)
