Originally published in the March 23, 2012 issue of LitigationWorld: With the rise of ediscovery practice areas, an increasing number of litigators are handling more ediscovery tasks internally. But it's unlikely that many, if any, litigators will engage in computer forensics work given that it's not needed in every litigation. Also, even if you have the requite expertise, it's not a good idea for you to become a witness. In this issue of LitigationWorld, former litigator and current computer forensics expert Bruce Olson offers tips on how to work with the expert you hire to maximize their usefulness and minimize their cost.
