Where are modern data and attachments today? They are on the ILTA Voices podcast, where I discussed them earlier this week!

Unless you live under a rock in Discovery, you’re probably aware of the hyperlinked files (aka, modern attachments) challenge and debate that is currently vexing just about all eDiscovery professionals. I’ve covered the topic numerous times on eDiscovery Today (including 20 times in just the past six months!).

Make that 21! Because, earlier this week, I sat down with Monique Sever, Litigation Support and eDiscovery Supervisor at Harper Grey LLP on the ILTA Voices podcast, where we discussed the current landscape of hyperlinked files. Topics included:

• When and how did the topic of hyperlinked files first get my attention;
• Some of the misperceptions in the industry about hyperlinked files that I’ve seen;
• How legal industry and eDiscovery professionals can help developers understand the issues hyperlinked files raise; and
• Recommendations for both requesting and producing parties regarding addressing the current landscape of hyperlinked files.

You can check out the audio podcast here. If you’re an ILTA member, you can also check out the video of our interview here.

It was a fun and entertaining discussion with Monique about the current challenges associated with mod, er, hyperlinked files, coming in at just over 18 minutes! Thanks to Monique for a fun interview and thanks to ILTA for including me on the ILTA Voices podcast on modern data and attachments!
