The Ethical Quandary “The EQ” www.theethicalquandary.com

Lawyers are confronted with questions everyday that implicate our duties under the ethics rules. Some dilemmas may be easier than others, but none are less important. Since we’ve all been in ethical quandaries, this blog was developed because we want to add to the discussion of legal ethics.

Practical Ediscovery www.practicalediscovery.com

The core of Practical Ediscovery and Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP’s Ediscovery Response Team are attorneys from various Hinshaw offices around the country who are experienced trial attorneys. These attorneys have handled document–intensive, complex legal matters for many years. Each member of Practical Ediscovery and Hinshaw’s Response Team also have received specialized training designed to quickly and efficiently deal with technical issues such as records management including the identification, preservation, processing, review, analysis and production of large volumes of relevant or discoverable data. They also monitor the complex and rapidly evolving law of ediscovery in various jurisdictions around the country. For example, all members are aware of the jurisdictions where producing counsel is ethically obligated to provide metadata (data about data which accompanies electronic documents) and jurisdictions where it is a violation of the rules of professional responsibility to do so.
