In this article, Greg Lawn of SC Magazine details the need to be prepared when any IT department is required to bring evidence to a courtroom for any sort of case.
He starts by noting that there has been a steady increase in the amount of corporate litigation in the past decade, and that it is still continuing. He also states that this trend has been accelerated and perhaps magnified in severity due to changes in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
He goes into detail in regards to what steps you should take to help find a middle ground in certain cases where attorneys are involved. They may be required to view confidential files and the like, if the case requires them to be presented as evidence. Lawn describes to the reader how they should go about making these files presentable in the courtroom and to the attorneys.
Later on, Lawn discusses five points for IT managers to consider when preparing for such cases, and what you should remember about the data you are presenting.
Using this article, even an IT Professional entering the courtroom for the first time can make themselves seem like a seasoned veteran and more importantly, help you provide the information that is required in an orderly and timely manner.
