“Modern attachments” – those are the two dirty words in eDiscovery today, which I discussed with the eDiscovery Chicks on their latest podcast!

The eDiscovery Chicks podcast is hosted by Bree Murphy & Angie Nolet, and it’s a podcast about all types of topics related to eDiscovery and legal tech. As they note on their LinkedIn page:

“Whether you’re a seasoned eDiscovery professional or just spreading your wings, eDiscovery Chicks podcast is a welcoming space for all.”

In their latest episode, titled Two Dirty Words We all Love to Hate: Modern Attachments, Angie and Bree discussed the ins and outs of hyperlinked files/modern attachments. We discussed why the issue exists today, some of the case law that has addressed it (which I covered here and here), and we discussed in detail my five assumptions about the issue of hyperlinked files as modern attachments. We also joked around a bit, addressed my propensity for puns and dad jokes – which Angie seemed to take as a personal challenge 😉 – and discussed where the issue may wind up (at least where I think it will, anyway).

It was a fun discussion and (hopefully) educational as well. Check out the episode here. And follow their LinkedIn page to stay informed about new episodes as they drop! 🙂
