About This PDF

In the modern litigation world, a trial lawyer often requests, assimilates, produces and generates vast amounts of computer data, computer models, computer-generated charts and timelines, animations, e-mails, spreadsheets, digital recordings, website materials, instant messages, digital photographs, chat room transcripts, metadata, etc. This information is only useful, however, if the lawyer can get it into evidence.
